Have a Zymurgy Stout Recipe in my 7 gallon fast fermenter. Yeast pitched and temp held at 69-70 degrees F. After just under 72 hours I've seen no visible activity out of my blow off tube.....zero. However, appears to be slight krausen ring in the fermenter. Not what I would expect to be complete at all. OG was 1.062 and target FG is 1.012. Wondering what is going on with my fermentation I took a refractometer reading (just under 72 hours) after pitching and gravity is down to 1.046 so it appears to be fermenting. Just at a snails pace or more specifically not vigorously at all.
First time ever pitching dry unhydrated Safale S-05. Also probably did not let the yeast warm to room temp out of the refrigerator before pitching.
Big problems here? It's alright let it keep going? Go get another pack of S-05, hydrate and re-pitch? Would really appreciate your thoughts.
