Hey all,
I tried using a liquid yeast for the first time yesterday (Wyeast British Ale II 1335). I tried to break the yeast packet a few times (tried, but I couldn't find it).
When it was time to pitch, I opened the pack, and it wasn't broken. I ended up cutting it open and pouring it straight into the nutrient, then pitching.
24 hours later, and there's no sign of fermentation (there's a bit of condensation on the lid of my fermenter), and that's all). Have I ruined it?
Worst case, I could always get a packet of S-04 (or use some of the tin yeasts lying around, but that's a last resort).
Cheers,
Dean
