I did an imperial stout yesterday pitched the yeast at about midnight it's now 4:30pm no airlock activity. The gravity was about 1.090 I used what labs british ale yeast but did not use a starter. I usually do a starter but this batch was done on a whim and I did not want to put off this batch anylonger it's been months since I brewed. How long should I wait before pitching my back up yeast. I understand there can be some lag time with these heavy batches.
