Barley Wine slow start to fermentation

Yeast & Fermentation
1

I brewed a barley wine on saturday and as of 8am this morning have yet to see any active fermentation. I’m not freaking out yet because I know sometimes fermentation can be slow to start. My question is, do big beers take longer for active fermentation to start?

4 gallons
1.099 OG
2pm Saturday I pitched Wyeast 1272 which was rinsed and collect from a 5 gallon batch of beer just last week. Did not make a starter since I pitched a lot of yeast and it was relatively fresh.

That should be going great by now. I brewed yesterday afternoon and it was going crazy an hour later at 63F. Maybe your lid is on loose. Open and look for krauzen.
