So I brewed 2 batches yesterday with a new igloo mash tun and HLT. OG's were low on both and I believe I have nailed some issues. I didn't do any stirring during my mash. Just added grains, Strike water and covered for 60 minutes. I did vorlauf about 3 pitchers worth and then drained and added sparge water with the valve open. So I plan to stir twice during mash and close the valve when adding sparge water and stir again before draining into kettle. Hopefully that will help. But 48 hours after pitching yeast (Danstar BRY-97) I haven't seen 1 damn bubble. I was concerned after 48 hours that basement was too cool. I checked temp and it was around 59 degrees F but the wort was 70ish when I pitched anyway so it would've taken a while to cool off. When should I repitch? Im thinking if I do, I'll go with Safale US05, but how long should I wait. Take a grav now? wait a week?
