If not you may have to lift the lid and check for bubbles, krausen ring condensation on the lid. If no activity or sign of fermentation ie flat as a pancake then you may have missed the yeast. If so add yeast and restart the brewing process. Do you stocktake to ascertain if yeast used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain I used yeast, I can remember doing it but there is no activity going on at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have to be a Y9 yeast, I have one of those spare (always order a spare lager yeast) It won't make it too yeasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly yeah, seems weird that two packets didn't get it over the line. I can't see any bubbling through the window and the top has an almost spider web like covering to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, may not be necessary. pellicle on the surface is in many cases not an issue as to what’s underneath. It does not necessarily cause sourness or tartness to the brew. Smell, taste will tell you a lot. You have probably dumped it already however many do in a rush/horror before doing a bit of research. The pic shows the “web” is surface attached, it’s what is underneath that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give time to people I don't like anymore, a thing my dad said once stuck with me when he said he didn't argue with people , if people had an opinion you didn't like, no matter how well you presented an argument to prove that their view was incorrect, they'd still believe it. I spent so much of my time in my 20s banging my head against a wall with stupid people, it is a waste of energy. Now if someone says one plus one = three, I'm all "sure it is" and just walk away, it's just easier. It is something I cherish about this forum, everyone just laughs at everything, nothing is taken serously. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
