Not really looking for replies; just a place to vent.
Brewed this morning, pitched healthy yeast at 10:00am, and at 8:30 still no action (10.5 hours).
I always find the time between pitching and having active fermentation to be the most frustrating time.
To be honest, I would be concerned if I saw any activity early, as it would be a sign that I probably I over-pitched, and the yeast did not have time to develop it's building blocks for the ester production. I generally like to have fermentation start between 10 and 14 hours, so I should not be surprised that it has not started.
I really should not be concerned. I've brewed over 50 beers in the past 2 years, and all have turned out good.
