So I'm brewing on this loverly evening and the yeast I had doesn't seem to be lively. I've had to sitting in warm water for a good 30+ minutes and I'm used to US05 sprouting a nice head of foam. Being a generic yeast from the LHBS I figure it might just be dead yeast.
If not that's great but I'm not to know. I've got a few options. Chuck some WB06 wheat yeast in to the Ginger beer and see what craziness happens. Let it cool in the fermenter till i can get more yeast tomorrow. Or wing it with the docile generic LHBS yeast.
Thoughts? I'm all ears.
Edit: Added a couple of pictures and plugged the hole with a wicked cool band aid.
