Wyeast American Ale II which I've used a number of times previously and never had it go this slow. May have purchased a suspect batch cause it was still well within it's viable date.
What are you brewing II ?

Well, this evening I had to do something pretty depressing. Poured an all-grain batch onto the front lawn.
I brewed an American Blonde (1.050 OG, 95% Pilsner, 2.5% Caraamber, 2.5% Carared, 25IBU Columbus) last Sunday. Pitched 15gm of "Brewcellar American Ale" (US-56) at about 9PM that night. Checked on Monday, no activity. Checked again Tuesday, still no activity. Left it another night and pitched a second 15gm pack on Wednesday night. Checked again tonight, and the gravity has not moved, there is no krausen, but there was one small (tiny) patch of greeny blue mould
I guess the yeast must have been killed in transit between the manufacturer, distributor and HBS. The HBS does store all their yeast (and hops) refridgerated. I'll have to give them a call and let them know as it may not only be me who has had this problem. I guess opening the fermenter on Tuesday night introduced some bugs to the fermenter that showed themselves today. Have left it soaking in hot napisan, and will give a caustic rinse tomorrow.
Going to brew another American Blonde tomorrow though, changed the brew slightly:
1.051 OG
75% Weyerman Pils
22.5% Weyermann Vienna
2.5% Weyermann Caraamber
22 IBU Columbus @ 75 min
0.34g / litre Mt Hood @ 10 min
0.51g / litre Mt Hood @ Flame out
Going to use Nottingham instead of US-56, as it's all i've got (dry) in the fridge.
Will follow that up with a Witbier:
1.045 OG
45% Weyermann Pils
45% Flaked Wheat
5% Rolled Oats
5% Weyermann Acidulated
13 IBU Styrian Goldings @ 60 min
0.69g / litre Fresh Valencia Orange Peel @ 5 min
0.86g / litre Crushed Indian Coriander Seeds @ 5 min
Have a 2L stirred starter of WY3944 chilled ready to decant for this one. Once it's finished I'm going to rack 20L worth on top of 3kg of frozen raspberries and leave that for 2-3 weeks.

I'm doing a German Pilsner today. Was originally going to do a Kolsch but found I didn't have any munich left.
Two new first for me today. Firstly it's my first extract brew, and second it's my first gluten free beer.
This is for my partner, who is gluten intollerant. As it's the first time I have brewed gluten free, I thought I would do a split batch. I used the same base recipe, and in one I left as is, and the other I have added some honey at flame out. The recipe below shows 0.8kg of honey which is for a full batch, but in reality I used half that (0.4kg) since it was a split batch.

Just put in a PNAU cider yesterday for the girls I live with (I still haven't organised myself enough to set up my gear, hopefully rectify that this weekend with tony's LCBA clone or a witbier)
20 litres of cedar creek 100% apple juice
juice of 12 punnets of strawberries
couple of tablespoons of bakers yeast boiled up for nutrient
1 pack of nottingham
21.5 litres, 1.048, a lovely pinkish red coulour in the fermenter
looking mighty tasty so far..

I have 20 litres of this going in the fermenter at the moment:
50% Weyerman Wheat
25% Pils (IMC or Weyermann if I have some left)
15% Munich
5% Rye Malt
5% Munich II
OG 1.072
20IBUs of Aus Cascade flowers.
20g extra Aus Cascade flowers thrown in for 10mins
1 sachet WB-06 fermenting at 20C
I used the 12 litres of 1.034 second runnings to mash in another beer:
17litres of IMC Ale malt (I'm using a bucket to measure grain these days)
handful or two of crystal
pinch of Carafa Special II,
mashed in with the preserved wort and some extra hot water.
Preboil gravity came to something stupid like 1.075 in a full keggle.
40IBUs with 15%AA Warrior
From 25 mins or so, I constantly added a mix of flowers, Aus Tettnanger, NZ Hallertau (both pretty low AA) and 7.6%AA Aus Cascade flowers. The hopsock (no kettle false bottom hop porn shot, sadly) came out looking like a football!
Got 34Litres of 1.08+ wort. Diluted the first 17L cube to 19L with tap water and pitched 2x US-05. It's fermenting with the Weizenbock at 20C Depending how this tastes, I'll work out what to do with the second cube.

Hey Rook.
I was thinking of doing something very similar.
Where did you get Spalt with that high AA? The stuff I got from Ross was only 3.3%
Cheers,
Wrenny
All done and dusted, in the freezer, waiting for the temp to drop to pitching temp.

Well, this evening I had to do something pretty depressing. Poured an all-grain batch onto the front lawn.
I brewed an American Blonde (1.050 OG, 95% Pilsner, 2.5% Caraamber, 2.5% Carared, 25IBU Columbus) last Sunday. Pitched 15gm of "Brewcellar American Ale" (US-56) at about 9PM that night. Checked on Monday, no activity. Checked again Tuesday, still no activity. Left it another night and pitched a second 15gm pack on Wednesday night. Checked again tonight, and the gravity has not moved, there is no krausen, but there was one small (tiny) patch of greeny blue mould
That's no good. Did you rehydrate the yeast first? If so did it look ok?

No rehydration with the first pack, just sprinkled on top. Second was rehydrated in 450ml water. It did "cascade" down like yeast normally does under rehydration, but it did look a bit darker than normal when stirring.
I've never had this issue with dried yeast before, it's always taken off quickly whether rehydrated or sprinkled.

Where'd you pick up anomalus? Did you ferment the porter entirely with brett, or add in secondary?
How long did your starter take to build up?
