Pitched my first liquid yeast (Whitbread) last night at about 11:30 and stuck it in the fermenting fridge at about 20 degrees. I checked it just then expecting a nice foamy head but nothing has changed at all.
I was a bit worried last night as i smacked the pack at about 9pm and was waiting for the bag to swell alot but over 2 hours later not much had changed with the pack and i was too tired to wait any longer so pitched it in as i poured my wort from my no chill cube into fermenter.
What do i do? as i said this is my first liquid yeast experiment and as we brew double batches, the other fermenter copped a pack of dried us05 and is already under way while mine lays dormant. This was gonna be a test to see what different yeast does for the exact same brew.
So any help will be greatly appreciated, do i just wait, throw in a pack of us05? Anything?
