Hi, first time posting and brewing.
I bought a brewing kit from Midwest, and a Fat Tire clone from AHS to brew my first batch. I followed all the directions and pitched the yeast and 48 hrs. later no fermentation. (O.G. is unchanged at 1.050)
My question is if I pitch more yeast at this point, (White Labs California Ale V 051) is there still a decent chance that the beer will turn out well? It's been sitting in the primary with the airlock on at between 68 and 70 degrees and I've already tried re-aerating once.
Should I just go to my local homebrew store and buy another vial of yeast and then aerate the wort and pitch once more or should I consider starting over?
Thanks for any advice.
Just saw the "First brew, and worried" sticky. Sorry if this is a bonk thread. I just wonder how long the wort will be good for if it doesn't take to fermenting. I'll give it another day or so.
