Thanks for your help!
I "brewed" this no boil NEIPA recipe on Saturday evening and am still to see any activity whatsoever.
As someone who doesn't keg, I bought a 6.5 gallon plastic bucket (with a spigot at the bottom) to help bottling when it comes to oxygen. I sanitized everything incredibly well and mixed everything in the plastic bucket along with some water at 155 degrees. It took a solid 4 or 5 hours for the wort to get to a manageable temperature for the yeast, and I pitched two packets just to be safe. Fast forward to 62 hours from pitching the yeast, there still is no krausen or airlock activity. Any advice from here? I'm trying to time out when I should be adding the hops and want to make sure things are on track. I feel as if I added plenty of yeast so confused what else could be the issue. Wondering if the no boil or plastic fermenter factor in somehow.
