I think thats the first time i've ever seen that suggested on AHB. The normal suggestion is to throw out the instructions

Totally agree with Mark though, just sprinkle the yeast on top until you have a bit more experience up your sleve.

In addition IGNORE THE AIRLOCK. It seems you've done some reading on here (judging by your other posts - eg asking about STCs and temp control), yet you've missed one of the most basic topics thats posted here constantly <_< . There are 1,000 reasons that the airlock might not be bubbling - ranging from basic things like the lid not being 100% sealed, to more exotic situations involving cats. Just leave it be, and take a gravity reading in a weeks time. Then leave it a few more days and take another reading. If they are the same - leave it another week before bottling (notice the common theme - its all about leaving it )

edit: Also, 11 hours isn't much time, even 24hrs lag time isn't unusual

[QUOTE="glenwal, post: 913438, member: 18428"] I think thats the first time i've ever seen that suggested on AHB. The normal suggestion is to throw out the instructions :P Totally agree with Mark though, just sprinkle the yeast on top until you have a bit more experience up your sleve. In addition IGNORE THE AIRLOCK. It seems you've done some reading on here (judging by your other posts - eg asking about STCs and temp control), yet you've missed one of the most basic topics thats posted here constantly <_< . There are 1,000 reasons that the airlock might not be bubbling - ranging from basic things like the lid not being 100% sealed, to more exotic situations involving cats. Just leave it be, and take a gravity reading in a weeks time. Then leave it a few more days and take another reading. If they are the same - leave it another week before bottling (notice the common theme - its all about leaving it :D ) edit: Also, 11 hours isn't much time, even 24hrs lag time isn't unusual [/QUOTE]
