Thanks in advance for any help
First off, I understand the basic science behind brewing, but have more of an experimental attitude...
With that here is my situation.
Started -
1pd Weyerman Malanoidin barley Malt
Hibiscus and other plant life added
Finished with sugars of Honey, Turbinado Sugar and Date Syrup
Dropped my pre started yeast in at a rather high temp. 84
6.5 gal plastic 5gal of liquid
1020 gravity
2 days no activity - so i re-pitched a top fermenting yeast at 68 with 1020 gravity.
3 days later - I did not see the ferment take place or not, I was away. No noticeable Krausen or bubbling in airlock. SG 1000
Should i bottle and cross my fingers, or attempt to add additional sugar and re-pitch a third time (i like experiments) 'cause i'm not worried about final ac, or have the yeast become saturated in their own waste? The starting sg would only give me about 3.5 ABV so i'd think not.
Any suggestions or ideas
