Brewed a 10G batch of a cream ale yesterday, OG 1.045. Split the batch between 2 fermenters. Pitched US-05 into both, both were rehydrated with 100* water.
26 hours later and no signs of any yeast activity. Using carboys so I can see inside, no activity at all. Both were from the same lot, purchased at the same time.
Wort was 64 degrees when I pitched. Holding at 64 in my fermentation chamber.
I have one more packet of US-05 that I could pitch (different lot, purchased at a different time). How long do I let it ride before I pitch it? Thinking that lot could have been mishandled prior to purchase...
If I do need to repitch could I split the remaining packet between the 2 carboys? Or do I need to make a special trip to the LHBS for another packet?
