Hi, folks. I brewed a Belgian Wit this past Saturday and I still have no action in my primary. I'm right around 70 degrees and I've never had a slow starter with this or any other style that I've tried.

I know "when in doubt, wait it out", but at what point should I consider pitching fresh yeast?

Thanks!!

:confused:
 
I'd give it another 24 hours before worrying about it.

I used to run into this problem a lot before I began making yeast starters. Now I don't have this problem anymore! More often than not though, waiting it out usually works.
 
Thanks. I just took a gravity reading. OG was 1.049 an I'm down to 1.022, so it looks like it's doing its thing!
