I've been reading some posts to get information on brewing and I brewed my first batch this past saturday.
I wanted to start slow to get the hang of it, so I just stuck with a hopped extract and added a light LME. I rehydrated the yeast packet that came with the hopped can in warm water and pitched it at about 75 degrees.
This is probably a repeat question but figured I would add my specifics.
The hydrometer read about 1.046 after pouring it into the fermenter. The airlock has since sucked water up into itself and dripped a few drips into the bucket but no bubbles or action has begun. There is no foam whatsoever on the top. I took another reading today and it was at 1.060.
I had the fermenter in the shower part of a spare bathroom (where a door from the toilet and sink separate it) and it was about 65 degrees. I have since moved it the main part of the bathroom where maybe it's a constant 68 degrees.
Is this thing stuck? I'm probably going to be told to wait it out...but I had to ask to see what people said...
I'm about ready to dump it and start over with a better quality recipe...
Thanks!
