Alright.
I just brewed up a kit, continental pilsner I believe is the name of it. This will be my third batch of beer, so I've done my homework, so I feel pretty certain I carried out the steps correctly. However, after pitching the yeast, I'm not seeing any activity even after a few days.
Things I'm almost certain aren't the problem:
I made sure that the wort was below 70 before pitching anything (in fact I think I had it at around 65 before I pitched
I stirred the yeast into the wort well
The kit claims that the yeast should perform at ale temperatures too, so it isn't that it isn't cold enough now in the fermenter
So the question is a two parter- did I just have some dud yeast, and can I just pitch more right in there to get things going? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
