Yesterday I brewed up a batch of the Bitter Bald Guy (recipe below),
I added 1# of rice hulls as I do when using flaked corn, just be sure the sparge does not stick. Also added 2qts of additional water.
I also did use 1187 Ringwood Ale yeast since I had it on hand,
I have used this in the past for IPAs and other bitters with no problems.
My OG was almost spot on at 1.052
The problem is it has been almost 18 hours and there is no activity, should I assume the worst and
pitch new yeast or wait it out a bit?
I have had delayed responses in the past, but never this long?
