Hey all,
Just tried a liquid yeast for the first time last night. Wyeast smak pak.
I didn't bother smaking it, I just made up some wort from dried malt extract, and then added both pouches to that. Left it alone for 12 hours before pitching, but I didn't see any activity all day, right up to pitching.
That was last night and still no activity in fermenter, not that thats unexpected this early.
But should I have seen some activity in my starter? Or was the yeast dead? I can't remember for sure now, but I'm fairly certain i cooled the wort to room temp before adding yeast. (At worst, it might have been a little warm)
So? should I add more yeast now or wait?
Thanks...
