I posted this in another sub-forum but I don’t think that one gets much traffic, so.....
Well this is a first for me. I’ve been brewing for 7-8 years and worked part time as a brewer for a commercial brewery for 3 years....never had a bad batch.
I brewed a breakfast stout on Brew Year’s Day, OG 1.088. Hit all my numbers etc etc. It has coffee and chocolate additions.
Pitched the US-05 after rehydrating it but I’m thinking the water was too hot and I killed them off. I’ve had no airlock activity and no kreusen.
Tomorrow I will buy 2 more packs of 05, but my question is, should I oxygenate when I do, or just pitch and pray?
TIA
