Sorry in advance, I know this is covered in other threads but they seem to end at "just leave it alone and it will be fine".
I used my first liquid yeast (WL810) and still no yeast activity after 4 days. It's been fermenting at a steady 72*. There was a yeast cake at bottom after 12 hours. I pitched the yeast probably on the cooler side and no starter (I know, I'm still learning). It was aerated before pitching and a little after. I don't have equipment yet to take a gravity reading. (I took the brew now on a budget and learn and pay later approach.)
So what do you think? "Will it be fine" even if yeast never gets active? I get sick at the though of dumping beer, but if I jacked it up I want to move on and start planning the next. Thanks
