Slow start

[shibbypwn]

Brewed my first Hefe- over 24 hours in and no visible signs of fermentation.

Pitched Wyeast 3056- temp has been held steady at 65 degrees.

At what point should I consider raising temps or rousing the yeast?

did you make a starter? just pitch a smack pack? how did you aerate the wort before pitching? how old is the yeast pack? if you've had it a while, how was it stored?

you shouldn't need to rouse or raise temps, that yeast should work fine at 65 degrees.

I used a smack pack- no starter.

Mfg date was last month (May)

I gave it a little over 24 hours to swell.

I aerated via shaking the carboy for a solid couple of minutes
