I brewed an IPA 2 days ago and I used a smack pack yeast. I smacked it and left it for a day and it didn’t really swell that much. So when I pitched it only half the pack was opened when I smacked it. So I opened the other little pack and pitched it and aerated the hell out of it with a wine degasser. So far I don’t have any activity in the lock. It’s in a bucket so I can’t see what’s going on. Thinking I’ll just rock the bucket today and maybe raise the heat. Setting at 68 right now. Any suggestions? I’ve had slow starting fermentation before but this is the first time I’ve used a smack pack and probably the last.
