well I did a number of things that could have caused my problems , yes I used a yeast from a UK brew kit and I put it in some water to wake up the yeast, and yes the water may have been a bit too warm. but strangely enough with no sign of activity in the airlock it all seems to be ok...

Ok. so I think i did everything by the book including all the sanitation. The only problem is that there has been no airlock activity in the last few days. I don't think it has started to ferment, is it a good idea or not to get more yeast and pitch it again. thanks M

thanks for that. I am just about to get started have to go to the brew store, and get one or two things then i am going to start. thanks for letting me know about the repeat rinsing as I was told that you did not need to rinse with Sodium Metabisulphite.

Well almost Canadian, and almost a Home brewer. I am from Ireland living in London Ontario and going to do my first home brew batch tomorrow. wish me luck, I am doing a Pilsener ( beer Makers brand). the thing that is really a question for me is that the kit came with Sodium Metabisulphite...
