My first experience with Wyeast has turned pear shaped, of course I hadn't read Batz post on getting Wyest started which would have helped immensely and instead followed the instructions on the pack (**** up no. 1 ). The difference being Batz said his took 3 days swell and the pack says 3-4 hours. Anyway i left it overnight and wasn't swelled to much at all but decided to open and pitch anyway (**** up no. 2), only to find that the inner pack hadn't actually been popped (**** up no. 3 :blink: ). Finding this i thought i could still pitch and the nutrients in the inner pack might be able to do their job in 500ml of wort anyway. After 2 days only minor bubbling had occurred and if anything from swilling the bottle it looked as tho the wort had actually carbonated and gone fizzy. At this stage i thought the only thing to save it and get everything mixed was to step up to 2 litres and put on the new magnetic stir plate. It has now been on the stirplate for 18hrs and has not krausened at all.
