Right now I have my RyePA (1.065 OG) in primary, and it's been around 48 hours. So far there is no airlock activity but the temperature is a few degrees above ambient (fermometer reading around 70). I will check for visible activity before I leave. I originally pitched S-05 without rehydrating into the wort.
Should I pitch another packet of S-05 if there is no visible activity? I figure half the first packet died anyway, and might be better to just be safe.
Is there any disadvantage to leaving a blowoff hose on it for 1-2 weeks? I'm worried since I won't be able to monitor it at all and don't want a sticky ceiling.
