Started this extract for an IPA and it came with safale 05. Things felt like they went more smoothly than my first try with the stout kit. Mixed things well and first sample hit 1.055. Gave it a shake, let the foam settle and pitched the yeast. This am, nothing. No activity and I didn't like the way yeast looked. It formed small round clusters in some areas. Thinking of giving it a good shake but have bought 2 more safale 05 packets that'll be here tues. I know some of these ale yeasts seem to have a lag period. Don't know about this one. Anyone think the yeast is bad? Oh and I used Irish moss in the boil as instructions say. Does that cause anything with the yeast?? Doubt it would seeing how you can use it for clarity. Really want this beer to work out. Smell and taste right off indicate this is my kind of beer. This could really be good. Good color too
