Hi all, i pitched a sachet of 34 - 70 into a24 degrees - 1048 og Bohemian Pils 36hrs ago - no movement in the air lock - no sign of any Krausen.
I pitched the same yeast into 35 degree - 1046 Bohemian Pils 3 weeks ago it was up bubbling within 24hrs.
Both batches are 23 litre, methods are all grain BIAB with same ingredients different ratios. The current batch was a 5 step mash the previous was a 2 step mash.
The current batch was pitched at 24 d put in brew fridge with temp set to 12 it reached 12d in 12 hours - i have turned the temp upto 17 this morning. If it is still showing no sign of any action tonight, do I -
A)- Take a gravity reading and see what its doing - if there is some difference fromOG let it go and see what happens,
B) - Take action - aggitate the wort (shake fermentor )- and see what happens in the next 12 hours.
C) - Aggitate wort and pitch another yeast ( i have no more 34 - 70 - so will have to be an 05)
This is my first venture into a "complicated " mashing process any advice greatfully recieved.
Cheers,
DB
