Ok, so I brewed a 1.072 OG batch late last night. My last 2 batches have been infected, due to a scratched up bucket (I hope). Now I have a new batch of beer and it has been 5 hours shy of 24 hours since I pitched a Wyeast smack pack.
Now the smack pack swelled up nice and good (I have never used these before) and I tossed it into nice aerated wort roughly 68-70F. I have yet to see any bubbles in the air lock. Usually when I use the Safale dry yeast I action the next morning I wake up. Maybe this type is different I dunno but I'm a tad worried because of my last 2 epic fails and I am losing my confidence.
Should I worry yet? If I wake up tomorrow and see no activity by morning should I pitch a new batch of yeast? I'm probably risking wild yeast by then taking over no?
I hope it kicks up soon but I thought I'd see what the pro's have to say.
Thanks!
