Hoping for some advice!
Last Tuesday I brewed a golden strong ale. Have made this twice before from Zainasheff's recipe and never had a problem. Made a large starter from wyeast 1388 and pitched on wednesday morning after both had reached room temp. 48 hours, later very little activity. Went to HBS on friday and grabbed 2 more 1388, activated, and pitched early Saturday. Bucket has a little pressure in it, but no airlock activity. At 1.05 when I pitched the two packs on saturday am so still a long way to go. Fermentables included 3# cane sugar which I understand could be an issue, but never has been before.
Help!
