This is only my third 5 gallon batch... I'm still struggling to get one right.
This is the first time I've run into this problem, so I'm looking for suggestions on what to do next. My previous brews were bubbling (the air lock) the day after I closed the lid. I brewed Sunday night (it is now Thursday noon) and have yet to see ANY action in my air lock. Nothing.
The last BB kit I did called me for me to make a yeast mixture with warm water to "get it going" before adding it to the wort. This recipe (and the instructions on the yeast packet itself) said to sprinkle directly into the wort, covering the surface, and then mixing in.
I'm lost as to what to do next.
Do I need to buy another packet of yeast to add in? This recipe talks a lot about the flavor characteristics this yeast adds to this beer, if so would adding another packet effect the outcome?
Any/all suggestions are appreciated,
Thank you
