Ho hum. I'm starting to get nervous. Here is the recipe I used:
6lbs Wheat Malt Extract
1lb Light DME
.5lb Carapils
1oz Tettnanger Pellet Hops
WhiteLabs Hefeweizen Pitchable Yeast
I got the kit from midwestsupplies. The yeast tube was warm when I received it from sitting on the truck all weekend. I let it cool down to room temperature before pitching to the wort which was 75 degrees. Before I pitched it, I shook up the tube real good and when I opened it it fizzed real bad. I took this as a good sign. I shook up the fermenter a little to try and aerate it a little but in hind sight I don't think it did much.
I had the fermenter in my kitchen which is around 70 degrees all the time. This morning I noticed that one of the air vents was near the fermenter so maybe it was colder then it should be. I moved it to the basement where it's a tad bit warmer.
Hoping for activity when I get home.
