What are you doing with homebrew today?

My yeast didn't take, and when I looked at the package, it was expired. I guess I'm going in a little early and taking a long lunch today.

How expired? When did you pitch?
 
Transfer Julius to keg. Straining those 6oz dry hops out

It expired in June and had done nothing by this morning. With the White Labs Pure Pitch, that is VERY unusual. I got another packet at lunch today, brought it home, and pitched it.
I initially pitched before noon on Sunday. 24 hours? No activity? Pure Pitch? = Bad.

Sometimes, it takes a bit longer than 24 hours. Probably not in this case, but sometimes.
 
I'm sure it can, but the Pure Pitch packages are essentially a double pitch. Those things normally take off, and I'm actually surprised that I don't see any activity from lunch today, but I was at 65-66 degrees in the fermenter already. It seems that around 18 hours is forever with that stuff. Having said that, I haven't used 036 before.
 
Heating up strike water for the Simcoe IPA brew while listening to the NASCAR qualifying at Darlington and getting my fantasy football rankings lined up :D ended up being in 4 fantasy leagues this year, whoops!

I did that for 17 years and it was like having a 2nd job. I had to retire from fantasy football about 8 years ago.
