On my 2nd batch of brew, I think the wort was too hot when I pitched the yeast (the liquid stuff) (temp was about 90F). Nothing happened overnight, so I repitched with rehydrated stuff that comes with the malt extract can (only pitched in 1-rehydrated packet). If this does not work, should I start from scratch again and maybe follow temp directions closer, or can I buy some more yeast for a 3rd pitch?
The Batch was supposed to be:
Cincinnati Pale Ale
Ingredients for a 5 gallon batch
* 3-4 lb. Pale malt extract syrup, unhopped
* 2 lb. Amber dry malt extract
* 12 AAU of bittering hops (any variety) For example, 1 oz. of 12% AA Nugget, or 1.5 oz. of 8% AA Perle
* 5 AAU of finishing hops (Cascade or other) For example, 1 oz. of 5% Cascade or 1.25 oz. of 4% Liberty
* 2 packets of dried ale yeast
For the dry malt extract I used hopped (not sure if it comes unhopped, but I though it made a difference in boiling time, so I did the usual 1 hr boil)
-for the finishing hopes I used fuggles
So what should I do if this 2nd pitch of yeast doesn't take?
