I'll just get straight to the point: Is it possible for an ale yeast (Wyeast #1335) to go dormant at around 50 degrees F and show "ZERO" signs of fermentation about 24 hours after being pitched?
Im still using my wicking tshirt trick...and man did I cool down my fermenter a little too much. On the plus side- I realized i might be able to lager with this method this time of year..so i might try it.
I opened the fermenet and in the middle...this was a circle..comprised of smaller circles...white little circles the size of pennies. I thought of great....my first infection...but upon close inspeciton...it looks like these were verrryy tiny white bubbles....but very akward looking pattern of it.
Also, I was not impressed with my smackpack..I didnt use a starter..but i let it sit for several hours...and it was not as swollen as it usual is.
