Hi, I'm new to the Homebrew talk forum, but I've been homebrewing for almost eight years. I just had something happen in my last batch that I've never experience before and I need some help/advice.
On Black Friday I brewed two beers - an amber ale cloned on Anderson Valley Boont Amber, and a Scottish export ale. Normally I would cool off my wort with an immersion chiller, but due to weather I was confined to my garage. I cooled the worts down to a point where I could rack them off the plastic buckets and let them cool down to pitching temp. I then pitched two liters of starter yeast into both buckets after oxygenation. That was almost three days ago and I have no airlock activity. Sunday I pitched a fresh pitch of dry yeast into both worts and oxygenated again. This morning there was still nothing. Am I just totally screwed at this point, and what happened to my fermentation?
Sorry to go so long. Thanks for any help you can offer.
