I started my second homebrew batch today. This time, I used Wyeast 2007, which was recommended by my supply shop instead of the dry yeast I used the first time.
I followed the directions on the package and added it to my brew, however there was very little bulging (as opposed to what I have seen on Youtube videos of this product) and the ingredients of the Wyeast did not appear to mix properly.
After 3 hours, there was no activity so I added dry yeast to the batch.
Could this be problematic? Should I have waited longer? The first batch I did had yeast activity visible in much less time.
Thanks in advance for any assistance and/ore advice on this matter.
I simply hate to waste a lot of time along with the forty + dollars in materials used so far on this project.
