I have brewed a few batches of cider for SWMBO. I have had pretty decent luck in the past with it so I tried a Apfelwein recipe that called for Wyeast 3068.... Perfect because I had a good bit of washed yeast slurry from a Bavarian Hefe I brewed back in august. I didn't have any DME for a starter and the nearest HBS is over an hour away so I used the MR Malty calculator to pitch the appropriate amount of slurry into my fermenter. So I pitched at 64 degrees and this morning there is a nice little Krausen on top and zero airlock activity. I know that it doesn't mean anything as far as airlock activity, but has anyone else had this happen. It's a 3.5 gallon batch, OG of 1.060 not for sure the amount of yeast it was I'm not home to look into my notebook but I used a calculator for it so it should be spot on. The Krausen looks like a dark Carmel colored froth.
