My friend and I brewed up a Tank 7 clone last weekend. Pitched 2 vials of WLP670 white labs yeast.
It's being kept at his house in a fermentation bucket. Problem is, he's told me there's never been any airlock movement. After 4 days, I told him, ok, open the lid real quick and see if there's any krausen. He said there was a small layer, but nothing like my IPA's I've been making at my place.
So I told him to make sure that lid is tight and has no leaks. Still no airlock bubbling.
I told him we might need to grab a dry yeast packet from the store and pitch that to possibly save the beer. Is this normal? All of my fermentations at my place have gone ok, and even aggressive.
This beer had an OG of 1.080, and it's hardly doing anything.
This is only our 4th brew, and our first time using a liquid yeast, so we didn't know what to expect. Next time we'll make a starter, but what would you guys recommend doing from here?
