Hello everybody,
So last night I brewed an Amber Ale and finished with an OG of 1.062. After cooling the wort down to 71 degrees I pitched one packet of White Laps 007. That was 11 hours ago and I have seen zero activity in the carboy. The back of the packet said it was best used on Ales with an Og of 1.050 and below but I didn't have anything else to use. So, I know I underpitched the yeast and i've introduced it into a stressful environment but is there anything I can do to help it out? Would pitching a second packet be advisable or should I just cross my fingers and hope for the best? Please help.
