My first batch ever has been in the primary fermenter for 10 days. I have not seen any action in 5-6 days. I fear that I failed to aerate my wort sufficiently before pitching my yeast an sealing the top on the fermenter.
It is a 5 gallon batch of shiner bock clone, malt extract recipe. After transferring to the fermenter, I stirred it up a bit, but now I fear it was not nearly enough to aerate it sufficiently for fermentation.
Should I abandon ship, open it and have a look (if so, what am I looking for), or just leave it be for a while longer?
Thanks!
Joe
