Hello all!
I'm brewing my fist batch of beer, but i think i have a problem. I got a recipe kit (one of those brewers best kits, the English Ale one) well I pitched the yeast, put the lid on the container, filled my air lock 1/2 way with water, and nothing is happening (i did this all tuesday night, so 2 days ago (its friday). Now reading the instructions on the back of the yeast packet, it says i should put the yeast in water, then pour it in. I didn't do that because the instructions that came with the kit, just said to sprinkle the contents of the yeast on the beer. could that be my problem? I didnt put the yeast in water first? either way, is there anyway i can fix it? should i just wait it out? should i get another packet of yeast and put it in water first, then poor it in? or should i count it all as lost and start over? thanks guys for the help!
