Working on this Irish Stout kit I got recently.
I had a Wyeast propogator package but the kit didn't come with DME for the starter so I just let the package swell for about 8 hours, guy at the store said this was all good.
It's been sitting around for about 5 days with little to no signs of fermentation. It had quite a few bubbles the second day and after that almost nothing. No bubbles trailing up the side of the carboy, no foam on top, and it's still extremely murky, no clearing just yet. LHBS said to throw a solid stopper on and shake it around some to try and get something going. Still nothing. Blow off container has a single bubble around every minute or so.
Wondering if I should repitch or try something different?
