Brewed austin homebrew octoberfest on sunday. Cooled wort to about 70-75 degrees and pitched yeast at this temp. I aerated the wort for at least 5 mins. I used the white labs octoberfest yeast 1820 follwed the jnstructions to leave it at 75 degrees until fermentation has started then I was going to throw it into my chest freezer to cool. I didn use a starter which is a skill I havent learned yet. I left the yeast out for 4-5 hours and it opened with a hiss as its done before. Its been close to four days without a change in gravity. I have a packet of dry muntons yeast and wanted some advice as to what to do. Ive also swirled the bucket around on day 3 to see if it would kick start it but nothing. Basically trying to see what advice you guys can give me... Should I wait a little longer, should I pitch the dry yeast or is there something else I can do?
Thanks!
Thanks!
