I just brewed a 5 gallon pale ale and used WLP029 yeast to ferment.
The packaging stated ale temp to be 65°/69° so I cooled wort below 70° and placed it in mini fridge in garage.
Temp control on mini fridge set to 68° but garage was cooler than that and yeast did not start.
Also had a small heating element around the 7 gal fermonster.
Moved the whole fridge inside but still no activity.
Wort into fermenter on Saturday 12/4/21 and still no activity.
LHBS is closed today so can't but more yeast.
Am I cooked??????
Just not sure how long the wort can keep.
Temp now stable at 68° since this morning.
