I was doing an old ale using British Ale II, the yeast was a bit old but i tried building it up to get enough cells. I did a 2.5l starter, let it settle then added it to another 1l starter. I pitched with good areation and fermentation took off quickly but died after 4-5 days. I let it sit for 2 weeks with no activity and the SG went from a OG of 1.091 down to 1.058. I decided to grab a fresh pack of British Ale II, did a 2l starter, transferred the wort to a fresh carboy and pitched again. I areated again but only slightly. Well that was 30hours ago and no activity. Temp is a steady 21c. Any ideas why this wouldnt have taken off again?
