Hi All
I made a batch of Oktoberfest from Type 1 FWK (Grain and Grape) plus 200g steeped crystal malt, OG 1045 and used a pack of Wyeast Octoberfest. Pitched at 21oC, but did not give it full three hours to swell up after smacking, as it was getting rather late last night. Instead, I left it only for 2 hours and it did not really swell up at all, but I thought it would be OK. It is now 16 hours later, and nothing is happening, even after a little shake.
Should I just not worry and give it more time, or is there something I should do?
Many thanks
