This is the second time I have racked onto a yeast cake. I typically do this to get faster fermentation and a way to use the yeast twice, especially with a similar style.
I brewed an APA first, pitched the yeast US-5 and it was actually vigorously fermenting within about 12 hours.
Racked it into a secondary about 20 minutes before I racked my second beer (Bell's Two hearted clone) onto the full yeast cake. This was Sunday about 6 PM. I have been looking at it daily, looking for air from the airlock (which I know isn't the end all be all sign) and nothing. So today I opened it up and took a look and it does not have any Krausen at all. I have another pack of yeast, I am just wondering what could have happened.
Any thoughts?
