I just racked my second batch to the primary. It is a EPA extract kit and I used Wyeast 1056. The information sheet said that the OG should be 1.045 . When I checked it before pitching it was 1.048. My first batch(amber ale) was high by .020 and I figured it was due to #1 not filling my fermenter all the way to the 5gal line and #2 not giving the wort a good stir before checking the OG. I corrected all those things with this brew but I am still off. Is that close enough or is it possible I am doing something wrong when I am brewing?
Also I pitched my yeast at about 64 degrees. Am I going to have any issues with that? I haven't noticed any airlock action and its been about 36 hours now.
