K I pitched white labs Trappist yeast about 27 hours ago. I had no activity until I just got home and there are some bubbles Random but mainly this. It is not churning. Is this bad? Or is this the growth stage of the ferment? I am worried ha

I think you're fine, just a lengthy lag time. Are those hop cones floating on top?

Patience. Easy for me to say. Ha.. Im sure it will be fine.

No hop cones. Just yeast and fun other stuff I guess

Ok after a few hours, it is not turning and churning .. It still looks funny on the top like it did. But with a little bubble

It is turning and churning

Just finished a brew with that yeast. That lag time seems long I'd a been worrying too. She's a devil that girl, needs lots of oxygen and a huge starter.

i had similar thing going on 3 weeks ago, in my case i expect underpitching as i used 1ml frozen yeast slurry to build up a starter and probably didnt get enough cells for 10gal batch. Still after around 40h i got a nice krausen and my beer finished at perfect 1.011FG and even flat tasted great so i wouldnt worry too much
