Gentlemen,
I tried brewing my first batch of (extract) beer yesterday, and I think I screwed up since my airlock is not bubbling yet.
What I think I did was add the yeast while the wort/water was too cold, instead of letting the mix warm to room tmperature as per the instructions.
My questions are;
1. Will this kill the yeast and cause it not to ferment?
2. Can I "re-yeast"? and if so, how long do I have to do this? (I made the mix yesterday)
3. Is there a specific kind of yeast I have to use? Obviously homebrew shop yeast would be preferable, but I can't get there until tomorrow evening. If time is important, would regular yeast work?
Sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm a noob and need help to save this first batch.
Thanks
SSB
