I brewed a batch German Lager 10 days ago and used Wyeast 2038 Munich Lager in a slap pack. After breaking the nutrients pouch inside the bag never began to swell, and after the brewing process had to pitch the yeast anyway. Kept the wort in the upper 40's for laggering but never did get any activity from the yeast. After three days we finally got some bubbling, but never developed the full on krausen. The last seven days my airlock has been steady to bubble on once every two to three seconds and still only have a small level of krausen less than half and inch thick. I have moved my wort inside to temperatures in the low to mid 60's for several days and still nothing.
I have an extra package of Wyeast Munich Lager showing up today, but what should I do to salvage the beer???? Should I activate and pitch the new yeast on top of the old???? My initial gravity measurement was 1.042. I have not taken another one yet, was going to let two full weeks passed....
