Long time member, but first post. I have a BIAB setup and have made plenty of nice ales over the last 12 months. I put down my first lager (Bohemian Pilsener) a week ago. OG was 1.050 which was on plan. I chilled the wort overnight to 10 degrees, and pitched 2 vials of Whitelabs Pilsner/lager yeast directly. I didn’t check the temperature of the yeast but it would have been close to the wort temperature.
It has been a week now at fermentation temperature of 10 degrees and gravity still 1.050.
Advice needed please. Have I killed the yeast pitching at low temperature? Do I need to raise temperature to give it a kick? Any ideas?
Cheers
