Lagtime

Is it normal for a Lagtime of three days?

That's a really long lag time. Are you sure it didn't already happen and you missed it?

That's a pretty long time. Knowing your pitch rate, temperature, and initial gravity may help diagnose the cause.

Temp was about 70-75 degrees, 0.056 and it was dry yeast. I pitched it on Monday around 5pm est.

This was my first post....


I recently bought the Rogue Dead Guy Ale beer kit by Brewcraft USA. The kit said it didn't come with the 1764 Pacmans yeast. I opened the kit and there was dry yeast in the kit. I inspected the ingredient chart and sure enough it included a dry ale yeast but not the Pacmans yeast. I read the directions and it said that you could use the dry with the kit but it recommends the Pacmans. I opted for the dry yeast that was in the kit. I pitched it at below 80 degrees and it's been more than 48 hours and no sign of fermentation at all. What should I do? I went ahead and ordered the Pacmans yeast but it won't be here for another 6 days. Will this be ok or is the batch done?


It's now been more than 72 hours with no fermentation action going on.

Only way to know for sure is to take a gravity reading.

Can't believe it but I just got home from work and it's minimal bubbling but it's there. Thanks guys!!
