No problem thanks for the film advice 😂

Okay, could be a good sign then. Never seen Ad Astra, I wish I could comment on it haha :D

So, this morning, I made a starter with some store bought yeast, I pitched it and re-aerated it. 12 hours on, the initial bubble has gone, back to no bubbles, but I guess I should expect that? Upon opening re-pitch I smelt it, it smelt good, smelt as if it had potentially been fermenting. I was...

I've seen so much about not using bread yeast, you think it'll definitely be okay? :)

Still nothing... :(

Yeah, definitely need to do a starter first next time, fingers crossed!!

Thank you so much for this advice, I think I'm going to have to intervene as you have said. I'm still seeing nothing, so, and hopefully this is right, I'll be making a starter and re-pitching that into the fermenter and re-aerating it. I'm off to Walk tomorrow, hopefully there has been no...

Thank you, I will definitely be making starters in future - we live and we learn, been so stressful though! Haha

A crikey! Yeah, this one is a plastic carboy with a plastic lid which seems to be very tight, thank you though - me too! :D

If you mean the lid onto of the carboy, I am struggling to unscrew it so I presume so, didn't think of that though

So, I'm still sitting here with little to no activity after pitching the yeast on Sunday so just over 72 hours now, I feel like not rehydrating the dry yeast was a big mistake and I should be rushing to get more yeast now 😂 You're right, there was a small layer of krausen on the surface but...

Haha thanks, I feel there is a "but" coming.. :D

Okay, I might give it a re-jig when re-pitching, hopefully I'm right in assuming that it isn't time sesitive whether the yeast is fermenting or not... I will let you know how it gets on, thanks for the advice :)

😂😂 That's the name of the game 😉

My wort was 22*C when I pitched it, is there such a thing as under oxidising the beer when shaking/pitching - it just seems so flat. I will go and have a look in Wilko, hopefully it's classed as an "Essential Shop" 😂 I will head there tomorrow and grab some - would I need to re-oxydise after...

So, I have had it at 20/21*C for 48hrs now as I got terrified when I saw the 18*C and still nothing much occurring, a bubble about once every minute seconds, but that seems oddly inactive to me? And the Yeast was BBF 2023 according to the packet. Thanks :)

Hello, First post here so please bear with me. I started my first ever brew this week with a brew shop kit, just something to tickle the taste buds. I pitched my yeast as normal and I'm not seeing much reaction after about 72 hours now, no foamy head or anything (pictures here). I'm using the...

Hi, Just joining and just starting ye olde "Homebrew journey" at the ripe old age of 20 haha!
