Brewed up a 5-gallon BIAB batch of nut brown ale yesterday, expected OG was 1.046, I hit 1.045. I did a starter with Wyeast 1028, but the starter didn't perform as my previous batches did. I shouldn't have second guessed myself, but I had a tight time frame to pitch before work and preferred to play the chances rather than let it sit.
Now 24 hours later, zero blowoff tube activity, no krausen, and hydrometer is still sitting at 1.045. Is it time to write this off and go with an alternate yeast? If I hurry I can make it to the LHBS and try to get a second pack, otherwise I have Wyeast 1056, 04, and 05 in my fridge right now. Recommendations?
