today, after work, I want to brew a kolsch. I planned this for a long time, so yesterday I made a starter.
I didn't have any extract, so I made a mini mash and got 2 liters of 1.040 gravity wort from the same grain I'll be brewing....
now, I smacked a wyeast kolsch 2565 and left it at room temp for 4 hours. It started to swell after some time, but after 4 hours it didn't completely swell (it was about 1/3 of what it should be), but I pitched it at that moment into the starter anyway....
this morning - nothing. it seems like there is nothing going on there. If I come home after work and see no activity I'll kill myself
Everything is ready and my yeast let me down.....
Do you maybe know if this yeast has a longer lag time? Any advice?
thanks
