Forgot to agitate

[motoed]

I brewed an irish red last night... The recipe was a Norther Brewer recipe and it says to ferment first week (or two) at 66. Then another week at 72. So I have my bucket set at 66 right now. it's been a day and no airlock activity.

THEN I remembered, while I aerated my wort, I did not stir in my vial of White Labs that I tossed in to agitated it. Would it be too late to do that step or should I just sit tight and let it do it's thing?

(still a noob and was focused on other steps and forgot that one.)

:smack:

Let it do it's thing. You do not have to stir in your yeast. You can pitch it right on top of your wort and it will do it's job.

Im sure it will be fine just remember it can take 48-72 hours for activity to occur.
