So, I recently upgraded to 10 gallon batches.
However, I ferment in 5 gallon buckets.
For the second time in a row, I have one bucket chugging away and one bucket standing still.
I had a white labs vial with a 3/8 gallon starter.
I have been shaking up the starter real well, then pouring half into each bucket. Yet for some reason, no action in one bucket.
Last go round, the fermentation on the slow bucket stuck after 2 weeks. I racked into a carboy, and the yeastcake was very, very thin. I had to finish off with some nottingham.
Any tips?
