Hi guys,
I made one 11L American Pale Ale with OG=1047, FB=1013 targeted. I normally used Safale 04 and within hours there is activity. This time I didn't have the 04 and purchase 10 gr of Nottingham from a brewer friend nearby. I did exactly as the other batches, just in 14 hours no activity (no bubbles or krausen).
Whats do you think might be? The same yeast the other brewer is using it now I think. Might be the yeast or what else?
I did not rehidrate it before, just pitch in 19 degrees celsius. The batch was aerated manually in the bucket by shaking it few times before adding the yeast. After adding the yeast I shake it few more time to yeast to dilute inside. So far no activity. I move slowly the bucket so the sediment from the bottom move around, maybe it will activate the yeast. Hmmm....
Cheers,
