No. I wouldn't shake the bucket. Just in case the first yeast really did do something, and fermentation began.
Rehydrate the dry yeast in water according to package directions, and then add it to your fermenter.

I don't think you should be re-pitching. Someone more experienced will chime in I'm sure, but I'd let it sit a few more days before I would do anything about it. Most likely (like 95% likely), it's fine.
What kind of beer are you making and what kind of yeast did you use?

Without reading your other post.....
Repitch if you feel you need to, but dont' slosh up your wort if at all possible.

I know you're new here but you have to give more info for help. What temp was the yeast pitched at? what kind of yeast? recipe? etc?
Also if you aerated already, there's no reason to aerate again.

The yeast was pitched at boiling, hence the need to re-pitch.

Was I suppose to know that through this thread? I even took a few minutes to read his other posts and didnt catch that.
Either way I hope he pitched by now, regardless of shaking.

Sorry guys I did repitch. Yea I messed up on first try so its repitched now. How long do you guys think it will take to start now? Two days or so?
Hopefully less than that. Don't panic if it takes that long, but with dry yeast you should see some activity in less than 24 hours.
