Hi All,
Advice needed please.
Have pitched a Wyeast Bavarian Wheat #3638 into a brew on Friday night and so far no action, it's dead set lifeless!
Is this yeast usually slow as I have not used it before?
Scenario:-
Brewed Tony's Dark Whaet Dunkelweizen on Thursday and no chilled it.
Friday, smacked the pack and put it into temp. controlled box @ 22.5c for 4.5 hours (it didn't swell that much)
Pitched it to 17.8c wort Fri. evening and set controller to 20.5c
Tonight, nothing... no air lock action, no change in reading, no krausen, the top oft he wort is lifeless.
Does one race out tomorrow and buy another wheat yeast (what ever the HBS has available/suitable) and re-pitch?
If I do re-pitch, do I aerate the wort again for the new yeast?
All help appreciated,
TIA,
Cheers,
Smilinggilroy.
