Hi everyone out there.
I recently started a bravarian lager using a dry larger yeast. the nights have been a little cold in melb, so i piched the yeast (without using a stater). leaving it inside the house there was no activity after two days, so i moved it to my shed and placed it on the concret to try and bring the temp down. Next few days? NOTHING!!
took temp reading at 15 deg cellsius. put it in my fridge to lower the temp again. its at 9 deg cell at the moment. NOTHING!! I'm sure the kit supplied a dry larger yeast, although i don't know exactly what sort.
question 1: Do you think my yeast sample was a dud? (i know i should of made a starter!)
Question 2: Can i save my wort?? what would happen if i got a liquid yeast and pitched that. would it work? and if so how would the yeast thats already in there affect the out come of my beer.
