New to brewing, so a couple of questions. On batch 5 and 6 from this weekend. #5 is an extract Oatmeal Porter. The steep and boil seemed to go well. Using a 6 gallon fermentation bucket with about 4.5 gallons. Kit came with a Dry Yeast that had instructions to dissolve in 4 oz's of warm water before the pitch. Followed in instructions, but 48 hours later there are no fermentation bubbles in the airlock (temp is 68 degrees, pitched at 70). Same thing with #6, a Double IPA from yesterday. Boil went great and an OG of 1.084, the yeast sachet is an American West Coast Ale (BRY-97). When stirring the yeast prior to the pitch it was VERY gummy but eventually dissolved. Pitched, sealed, swirled the bucket a couple of times and again - no bubbles in the Airlock.
Any thoughts? Do I just wait the 2 weeks?
Thank in advance from a real Rookie
