I made my final kit in preparation to going to all-grain brewing. However I have run into an issue w/ this final batch. I got a Moose Drool Clone extract kit and CANNOT get it to ferment. Made the kit in the exact same fashion as all previous brews. Everything was properly cleaned & sanitized. Water used was distilled water from jugs. My OG in the primary was 1.052, exactly what it was supposed to be. I rehydrated my dry British Ale Yeast and pitched it. After four days no start of fermentation. Went to local brewshop, picked up a pack of dry Ale Yeast. Rehydrated and pitched, now four days later still no fermenation. I have no krausen at all when I opened the lid to repitch the new yeast and none today when checking on it. I have written this batch off as bunk, but was looking for any guesses as to why. Not sure what I've done wrong.

Steeped grains in muslin bag 20 minutes @ 155.
Brought to boil, added malt, added hops at correct intervals for 60 min boil.
Brought to 70 degrees in ice bath, less than 30 mins.
Poured into fermenter bucket, avoided trub
Splash aerated and pitched rehydrated yeast.
Put lid on, airlocked, put in dark closet, room temp, 70 deg + or - a few
