    hey, have you guys had much experience with safale 04? I've only ever used safale 05 but I bought an extract kit from AHS for an ESB and it came with 04. I did everything right, but noticed lack of fermentation activity after only 2 days, no biggie says I..... I waited a week and a half...

    Lotsa Floaties

    ok, so I've finally stepped up in my brewing experiments and done a batch that used extract that was unhopped and thus I boiled up my hops (full leaf and pellets) along with some specialty grains....
