Alright..
Been brewing for about 4 years.. Have 40+ brews under my belt..
This is the first problem I may have incurred with fermentation during brewing.
I have not checked the OG yet since brew day (been 5 days) so I am sure that is something I need to do..
But with all my other 40 plus brews I've had a big krasen and bubbling.... Or at least some krasen but I have absolutely nothing.. It looks like it's just all dropped down to the bottom.
So here is the process.. I had a friend helping me.. So not under my watch the first step was done.
-he only heated the water to about 130F(did not boil it like I always do)
- let it cool to 95F
- I slowly pored the yeast on top of the water. Used 2x SO-4
- covered container and set aside.
- after about an hr it has puffed up an inch or 2.
- poured the yeast into the fermenter
-aeratored the wort for 2 min
-placed the caboy into the ferment Chamber at 70f
Brewed a breakfast stout
So what should I do? Go by 2x dry yeast and try to repitch??
Thanks for any help on what went wrong or what to do.
