S-04 vs. 1272

[Garyr2973]

Just a quick question about the aggressiveness of these two yeasts I made a zombie dust clone that's been in the carboy for ~36 hours with no bubbles from the blow-off tube. It's in a "swamp cooler" so the temp is probably around 65-70 degrees inside the carboy. I also made an Anchor porter with the 1272. It's been in the carboy a little over 12 hours at room temp (72) and its bubbling like crazy. The S-04 was made with a starter also. I know it's fermenting because I was going to pitch more but it's bubbling in the bucket so....Any suggestions?

Well, for one S-04 is a dry yeast and you aren't supposed to make starters with dry yeast, so that may be the reason why you aren't getting much activity. You are just supposed to rehydrate and then pitch.
