I was going to have a huge 2 batch brewday, each 11 gallons. I bought and pitched WLP833 and 800. When opening the 833 I didn't hear the typical psssst sound. The 800 pssssst was fine. 800 took off and nothing from the 833. No bubbles, no white foam...nothing. Brew store guy said the pssst sound doesn't always occur. It always has for me. He also said white foam doesn't always occur, does for me.
The 833 starter doesn't have that typical bready scent either. I'm probably going to throw it out. I guess I could take an SG reading to see if fermentation has happened
Anyone have this happen? Has anyone had success with a non pssst vial of yeast?
Thoughts?
