Hi everyone,
I'm getting a bit worried because I brewed what I want to be a lager yesterday, and it's been close to 16h since I pitched, and I see no signs of activity yet.
I cooled down the wort to approx 21C, transferred to my fermenter, shook it well, then pitched the yeast. It's a lager strain that I used once before to make a lager.
Something to note is that when I opened the yeast's container, it was quite under pressure, so I had to let it depressurize and spill a little bit on its own.
Once all was transferred, I simply pitched the yeast, shook the fermenter a little bit again, closed off everything, and attached my spunding valve.
My fermentor is in a room that's about 18-19C, and my spunding valve still shows no pressure change since I pitched.
Should I be worried yet?
