alright.
i was making an ipa and all looked great so far.
i used safale us 56 / aka 05.
i rehydrated the yeast, let it sit about 20 mins maybe less and then proofed it with some sugar. after another 15 mins or so i stirred and added tothe carboy.
its been just about 2 days. i have a huge buildup at the BOTTOM of the carboy.
i have several options. wait, take a gravity reading, add nutrient/energizer ..
i can do some of these or a combination if these.
im not really sure if this yeast is bottom fermenting. i wouldnt expect that. im almost worried that the yeast is dead or jsut not active for some odd reason.
thoughts? any input welcome....
