Question starting batch

[easyT]

I used this recipe: 19 lbs honey, 4.5 gals water, 1.5 packets Lavlin EC-1116 yeast, 5 tsp Fermax nutrient, to arrive at 6 gals of must at a CG of 1.115. Last year this recipe started percolating within hours. It's 12 hours and there's some foam but no gases yet. What is the average time to get the fermentation going?

There's too many variables to say exactly how long it takes for fermentation to get going.

 

[cgenebrewer]

it could be a few hours, or a few days to really see activity with an OG that high.

The way to confirm fermentation is if your gravity is dropping. If its the same. Make a starter. Arpolis has a good post I think on it.... don't quote me on the last sentence.
