I just brewed my first 5 gallon batch Chocolate Stout last night.
After pitching the yeast and attaching a blow off tube, I left the wort over night.
When I woke up this morning I expected to find Kraeusen in the carboy or residue escaping through the blow off tube, similar to Ales I have made in the past. Unfortunately I didn't see either. I am worried that fermentation might not be taking place.
Should I be worried? Does Chocolate Stout fermentation look different than an IPA ?
