Hi guys, just wondering if anyone else has had trouble getting this strain to kick off? Two brews now made 8 months apart with different smack packs bought just before brew day and after pitching the same way (and waiting for the pack to swell), no fermentation kicks off after 3 days forcing me to throw in a pack of MJ44 and bam, within 12 hours it's off and racing.

Never had a problem with any of the other 15 or so Wyeast strains used over the years. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this with this particular yeast?
 
Never has any problems with it, I prefer it to 1056 (that's a fairly long list) and use more of it.
God yeast and it drops out a lot faster when it finishes - not well as S-04 - but better than 1056.
