I have a NB one gallon Summer Squeeze Lemon Shandy extract kit in the fermenter and it’s been start d a little over 24 hours. I rehydrated the dry yeast in 4 ounces of warm water 15 minutes before before I pitched it. I am going to give it another 24 hours to get started.
I noticed that the 5 Gallon kit calls for Safale US-05. I have some US-05, if I need to pitch some more yeast how much should I use?
What makes you think it hasn’t started? Airlock activity is an unreliable way to tell.
What are you fermenting in? Buckets are notorious for leaking. In any vessel a sure sign is a krausen ring.
What was the temp at pitching? What is the temp of the beer currently? What was the OG?
I was able to find some info about Bru Yeast on NB. They are 4g packages which is quite a bit for 1gal. 1gal at a low OG, pitched warm, with an over pitch and you might have missed the fermentation.
Isn’t that crazy they don’t explain that in the recipe? " Oh by the way, use only a quarter of the yeast at most" Under pitching doesnt change a brew as much as over pitching… Sneezles61
