I brewed my second all grain batch yesterday, a take-off of BM's Centennial Blonde recipe. Hit my OG dead on at 1.046. I poured the wort into a plastic fermention bucket at ~75 degrees, shook to aerate it, then poured the yeast in. I had hydrated the safale 05 yeast with one cup of 100degree water (per John Palmer's book) and let it sit for 15 mins before adding. Now its only been 19 hrs to this point, but my other beers starting fermenting earlier (I used White Labs previously) and from what I've read this safale 05 usually takes off. It is in my closet at 68 degrees by the way. Any suggestions? Should I just be more patient? At what point should I pitch another packet of yeast?
Thanks for any advice you have,
Steve
