Brewed a cream ale kit yesterday. I added 1 lb corn sugar at flame out
to boost the alcohol content.
I followed the recipe and pitched the liquid yeast @80 F right into the wort
at 7:30 pm last night. OG was 1.042.
The vial said give the yeast 5-15 hours to start
fermenting but also said to pitch between 70-75 F.
I checked the airlock this morning (13 hours later) and do not see any activity.
The airlock appears to be working properly.
Did I kill my yeast by pitching at too high a temp?
Should I be worried?
Should I pick up anothe bottle of liquid yeast and add it?
Would I use the same type of yeast or different type?
How to proceed?
