OK here's the deal.
I am (or was) making a Czech Pilsner. Pretty sure my yeast is dead. 52 hours an no activity. I could be wrong and I'm sure I will hear 'wait it out' but for the sake of this thread I am interested in other yeast options.
Again to be clear, this is not a 'my batch isn't fermenting what do I do' thread. This is a thread about introducing a different yeast regardless if the previous yeast is dead/stuck or whatever.
I have T-58 on hand. I am thinking of pitching it because 1: it ferments like a mutha trucka, 2: it is similar to a wit minus the fact I'm missing wheat.
I also have Nottingham, 04 and 05 on hand. I can't possibly fathom 04 working but I have it so who knows.
Yes, I could probably trek on down to my LHBS for a lager strain but quite honestly I'm trying to avoid that.
At this point I am trying to salvage the beer with what I have.
Suggestions/ideas are welcome
The recipe is simple. Some pilsner malt and saaz hops.
