Hi, so I just brewed a batch of northern brewer dunkelweizen extract kit using wyeast 3068. It has been 33 hours since I pitched the yeast and I have ZERO activity! upon receiving the yeast I refrigerated it. Took it out 40 hours prior to pitching, smacked it hard and stored it at around 78-82 degrees. The bag did inflate some (not all the way, but definitely did) Vigorously shook yeast and Carboy prior to pitching. I pitched the yeast around 72 degrees. I initially used a blowoff hose (heard about some blowoffs on the reviews, first time ever using one) after about 14 hours I switched over to an airlock (since it was my first time using a blowoff hose and was worried I maybe wasn't doing it right)
Like I said, it has been around 33 hours (and about 68-70 degrees fermenation temp) and absolutely no activity. This is only my second batch, but my first batch was bubbling away at around 7 hours! Just concerned. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
