I brewed a 1.081 Belgian Quad on Thursday. I pitched about a cup of yeast (Wyeast 3787) that I got from a Belgian Dubbel that I had kegged 6 days before and had stored in a mason jar. I took the mason jar out of the fridge about two hours before I pitched it. I aerated pure O2 for 90 seconds before pitching.
I expected this to take off like crazy, but there were no signs of fermentation at all on Friday. It was going fine by Saturday morning. Any ideas why there was so much lag time?
Thanks.
