It has been about 14 hours since I pitched the yeast and I have no visible activity yet. I'm wondering if I should shake the carboy. I've read it can take anywhere from 5 to 15 hours before fermentation starts. I'm getting suspicious something has gone wrong. The temp has been about 78*.

I have a pump/filter/stone setup, but the only time I aerate after pitching is when I have a high gravity ale and no cake to pitch onto. Then I use a timer to run the pump 10 minutes every 2 hours for the first 12 hours.
I prefer my air to be filtered... I use Brettanomyces yeasts and both Lactobacillus and Pediococcus from time to time, so I don't really know WHAT is living in the brew room now... I love the funk, but only want it in the beers I put it inBeer Snob said:Here is what you need. Works GREAT! Less hassle.
The whole page comes up for some reason. I'm talkling about the MIX-STIR on top to the right.
