Is this because of lack of variety? Would you like to elaborate?Batz said:Dry yeasts really don't cut it, no matter how easy they are.

One pack of US-05 at 1.061 would be pushing it for sure under normal circumstances however I would still expect it to be cruising after 48hrs max (not good, but still doing something).Mr B said:Any ideas on why us05 may fail to ferment?
I rehydrated a pack and pitched it into a 1.061 wort on Monday night, Friday morning and still no krausen and sg hadn't dropped at all......
Temp controlled in a fridge at 18 deg, pitched in low 20's.
I put in some yeast rinsed from the last batch, not sure how much it was though and gave a stir in a last ditch effort to get something going.
I'm not sure, but the wort may have had a bit of a sour taste. Can infection do this? Perhaps a dud pack? I'm pretty good with hygiene but you never know.
