First post for this noob here. I am having a problem with fermentation, and I am wondering if I should wait a bit longer or if I should pitch another yeast. I found a Coopers recipe for "Instant Karma" IPA. It called for a White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale. When I was ready to pitch the yeast, I noticed that the best before date was a month outdated. Figuring this wouldn't be a problem, I pitched the container anyway. 24 hours later, I panicked a bit, and agitated the carboy for about 45 seconds. Now, 36 hours after the pitch, I still have no signs of fermentation. So I am wondering if I should wait longer, or stop by the brew store today and get another yeast? If I pitch another, should I pitch the same thing (liquid) or something else, should I pour it in like I did before, or go with another method?
I am a little frustrated as I find it hard to believe the yeast was dead before I pitched it, and was also sure the wart was 70*.
Thanks for the help folks.
