I brewed a nut brown and so far no fermentation. Ok so I have moved the pail all around my house and finally found (I think) a good place that hovers in the mid 60's. Now how long do I wait until I re pitch ? Is this all for nothing ? Has it been too long since my brew date (1/21) ? Do I have to pitch the same exact yeast as the first time ? Basically I'm lost as I've never had this happen before. What do I do ????
 
How do you know it is not fermenting? Have you checked inside the pail for signs of fermentation, or taken a gravity reading?

If you are going by airlock bubbling, then it is very possible that there is a leak in your lid that is letting out the CO2. I have had several brews never bubble at all and I never worry, because I know that the yeast is doings it's job.
 
No krausen either. I've checked. I have not yet checked the gravity but I really don't think I missed the fermenting. I don't think it ever occurred.
