Okay, I brewed my second all grain kit on Saturday. Everything went great. I was done in a reasonable time, everything remained clean and on point. Except:
I forgot to "smack the pack". By the time I remebered, the wort was already aboil. I stalled as long as I thought I could without compromising sanitation (hour and ahalf). The Activator pack had begun to swell but was still a long way from ready. I pitched it in its not quite ready state. It's now Tuesday and the lid isn't even showing signs of gas building up. No bubbles, no pressure. I feel like I'm watching my baby struggle and am helpless to do anything.
Should I repitch, sit on my hands, or a little of both.
Midwest supplies Exelciser Altbier is what we are cookin'.
I don't have the specific OG but it was right on target.
Advise?
