Hi all, I washed some yeast according to the sticky in the yeast section. This was 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I boiled up a few table spoons of dme and added it to a 1 gallon glass jug I bought at my local brew store. While the dme solution was cooling I also let the yeast come to room temp before adding it.
So it has been about 24 hours now, and I hope to brew tomorrow. How do I know things are working? I see a little airlock activity everytime I swirl the liquid, then it settles down. I try to swirl it every time I walk by it. Any way to know if it is ready for pitching? This is a lager yeast , but I have kept it at room temp. In the future should I bring it to the cooler basement where I ferment?
Thanks for helping the new guy
