How long of no activity do you go before repitching?
I pitched White Labs tube of English Ale (WLP002) on a batch of Mild yesterday (saturday) about noon. There is no activity as of 10pm Sunday (34 hours). How long should I give it. The yeast was fresh, expiration August 07. I pitched at about 80F so temp was good. It has been in a 65F room since then.
This is my second time using a White Labs tube, the first time the tube had a lot of pressure when I opened it. This time there was very little pressure or bubbling when I opened the tube. I'm concerned the yeast may not have been very viable.
