I brewed American cream ale Sunday, everything went great with brewing. It's been sitting in a 6.5 gallon carboy for 3 days with absolutely no signs of activity. All the sediments are visible on the bottom. Looks the color of the dme. No foam on top. I shook the hell out of it last night and let it sit. This morning it all settled back to bottom. A couple of burps out of airlock. It just looks like standing worth in a glass carboy with crap on the bottom ...a giant turned off beer lava lamp!
I originally added dry yeast to 80-90° water for 15 min. Before adding to worth that was 70°
Carboy is stored at 65-74°
I know ...just wait it out, but it's going on 60 hours and no signs of fermentation. I might repitch a new yeast. Is sediment sitting on bottom normal? Or clue to some problem?
