Hi there. First true lager, (Brewhouse Pilsner) with Wyeast 2007 Pilsen Lager yeast. It was old when I got it (June 08 on the package), I shouldn't have taken it but---haha, it was on sale that day so figured Sure!.
Dumb move.
I think the yeast is knackered and I pitched it (direct from package after a 12 hour room-temp existence which didn't show a whole lot of "puff-up") on Thursday last week. Still showing no activity.
In my storage room in basement at 14C (um...57 F?). Should be very safe for that yeast (3-9C).
Any hints for using something (another yeast perhaps? Safale 05?) to get it going?
Thanks.
First post and definitely not the last.
