Want to get your thoughts on my current batch.
I brewed a 1.051 wort and pitched wyeast 2206 bavarian lager 4 days ago. 2 days ago I was a bit concerned, so I pitched another package of the same yeast. Fermentation is set to 12c. Yeast is a fresh in date pack. Currently the wort is not showing any signs of life. I brewed another batch on the same day which I pitched w34/70 and that one is progressing fine so I doubt there is a problem with process. The only other unusual thing I can think of is that the fermenter held some kombucha in the last batch, but I cleaned and sanitized everything between batches.
I've never experienced a lag time this long. A google search shows some people have have had lag problems with 2206, but 4 days seems a bit much. The only thing I can think of is that the yeast of this type is faulty.
Any thoughts?
