First Time Using Liquid Yeast - Wyeast 3068 - Weihenstephan

[razz]

An old thread but a lot of great information. I wish I had found this prior to researching why mine hasn't started after 4 days on approx 35L. I pitched one pack of 3068 at 18°after smacking the pack and leaving it for about 4 hours. It had swelled a little prior to pitching. I understand that I have underpitched but thought it would've shown signs by now. I will check for an infection, but I was going to drop a WPL300 (only stock at LHBS) on top if it hasn't started by day 7. Again with no starter to under pitch. Happy to break this process down and have feedback.

Don’t wait seven days B&P, check the gravity reading now, if It hasn’t started pitch more yeast.

I won't have yeast to pitch until early next week. I'll check gravity though

3068 is best under pitched. Stress those little yeasties! That said I'd still check the gravity like razz said. 3068 has always been slow to start for me, you could try rising the temp to about 20C see if that helps.
