I made a basic brown ale on Tuesday. Nothing unusual, OG1051, 19l batch, into fermenter at 22c. Admittedly, I used an out of date pack of BRY-97, sprinkled straight in as I always do. 18hours later no activity. So I pitched a pack of S-04 (also out of date but only by a year). That was a good 18hours ago as well, and nothing yet through the airlock. I usually see activity after 12hours, and full fermentation within 24h. A few small circular colonies floating on the top but no smell of CO2. I fear these are bacterial / wild yeast colonies from lifting the lid a few times.
I'm going to pick up a brand new pack of S-04 this morning. Can I save the wort by firing in some Camden tablets? Or am I better off re-boiling the lot?
Cheers
