Ok, I admit I'm a little new at this game and ask a lot of questions, but hey this is a great resource. A friend and I just brewed a batch last night and I was pretty excited with the OG we got (shooting for 1.052 to 1.054 but got 1.058). It was our first time using liquid yeast and didn't read the directions so close. When it came time to pitch the yeast we brought it up to 70 degrees and added it (without waiting the prescribed 3+ hours to activate the yeast). We relized our blunder too late, but we figured we'd see what happened. Well, this morning we got a bubble or two, but no steady poppin'. Now the question is, "How do we rescue our beer?"! Do we add more yeast? Do we just wait? Do we shake it up? The wort tastes and smell too good to let it fail.
help!
