Ok! So I brewed last week and just wanted to peek and see if everything was going on nicely! I open up my bucket, and it looks exactly like it did when I put it in there! Is this a wasted batch? And, what could I have done wrong????
unionrdr said:I agree,it looks like absolutely nothing happened in there. Look around & see if you forgot the yeast packet. If you did pitch & it looks like that,the yeast were DOA,or you pitched when the wort was above 120F or so.

Selenite!

Depending on the style of beer or perhaps wiser heads prevailing, I do not think you wanna leave it that long sitting in fermenter.
