I brewed a batch of pale ale yesterday. I was little bit more than half a gallon off my target volume,
It gave me an OG of 1061, which I was expecting to be around 1055-1056. I surprisingly had more efficiency and the miscalculation of the sparge water resulted in a more intense wort.
My problem is, I had 1x MJ's M44 dry yeast and it's enough for less than 1060 OG. I still had to pitch it, but there's no sign of fermentation yet. I aroused it a little bay shaking the bucket but still no bubbling. I know we need to give it 12-36 hours to understand if it's stuck or not, but I want to make sure it works somehow. What do you guys recommend? Is there anything I can do before 36 hours? Or what can I do if it never starts?
I can't buy another yeast at the moment, I
