Have an oatmeal stout (oatmeal peanut butter stout to be more specific) that I brewed, i dumped trub and all into 2 separate carboys. I have approximately 6 gallons of wort and trub in one and approximately 2.5 gallons in the other. My wort temps were right around 66 when I pitched the yeast in both. I used US-04, 3/4 of a pack in the small carboy and 1-1/4 packs in the large one. I've checked every 12 hours over the last 3 days, in the morning and at night, each day. I thought it was starting to take off yesterday because I saw small air bubbles coming to the top of the wort slowly, but no real activity in the airlock. I've never had this issue before. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, for more info on my equipment, I use a freezer for a fermentation chamber. Have an inkbird controller that I keep the temp set at 67, using a heat pad for the heat source.
Thanks!
