G'day again all . Have had a Cascade Spicy Ghost Draught kit sitting around for a few weeks ( yeah , i've read a variety of wide ranging reviews on this one ) & decided to go for it and get it out of the way .
Ingredients include :
Spicy Ghost Kit
1kg Brewcraft Brewblend #20
500g Coopers LDME
20g Cascade Hop Pellets @ 60 min
20g Cascade @ 30 min
10g Cascade @ flame out for couple mins along with Kit , just long enough to dissolve kit through .
OG : 1.044
Bit of a flying blind sort of wort but had the spare ingredients sitting around as well & thought they may all go ok together .
Unsure if i've used the Hops correctly , but at flame out , the wort smelt amazing .
Anyway , to the real point of the post . Pitched the kit yeast ( Cascade Bohemian 7g ) @ 22*C , have maintained approx 18-20*C
for nearly 24 hrs now & theres no activity , maybe a slight push on the airlock every now and then . Have decided to just nudge the temp up a bit to say 24*C to see if that inspires a beginning to fermentation . Thinking by the end of the day if there's still no start , i might throw in some of the only spare yeast i have sitting around . The spare yeast looks to be a generic Black Rock 5g . Have 10g of this yeast and would even consider pitching the whole 10g.
So any help much appreciated , not just re: the yeast bizo , but any other things that stand out to you .
Cheers for now ,
Windy Hill .
