I'm a pretty new brewer, I just did my 3rd brew and and it was also my first by myself. I believe I killed the yeast when I pitched it. I warmed some water up and added the dry yeast to it (it came as part of a Brewers Best ingredient kit). I believe it made it too hot, although I didn't determine its exact temp.
The reason I think it's dead is that it's already been over 3 hours since I've added the yeast and nothing is happening, no bubbling, nothing. Usually by this time I've seen a furious roar. I'm worried I've ruined this batch. Is there something I can do to fix it? Should I wait a bit longer? Should I add another package of yeast and see what happens?
