Appear to be having some trouble with the fermentation on my latest brew.
Here are some details...
mini mash of
4lb. Marris Otter
1.5lb light munich
8oz Kiln Amber Biscuit
4oz Roasted Barley
.5oz Nugget hops (60 min)
.5oz Fuggles (10 min)
.5 oz Fuggles (5 min)
.5oz Nugget & Fuggles (flameout)
Boiled 1 hour and 3lb of Amber Malt extract added at end of boil. Chilled to 70º in 19 minutes. Aerated 5 minutes with aquarium pump and aeration stone.
OG 1.054
WLP005 British Ale yeast pitched directly from the vial (I usually do a starter, but didn't this time)
As of this morning, its been 60 hours and no krausen has formed and doesn't appear to be fermenting. Ive never had a brew yet take this long to begin its fermentation.
Any ideas?
If it really isn't working how can I remedy this? Can a new yeast vial just be pitched directly?
Any advice would help before I just decide to give up on it.
