Hi all I think I have problem I brewed a brupak bitter it said to rehydrate the yeast which ihave never done on all the other brews that I have done.the thing is I went by the instructions but the brew is just sitting there doing nought?
for the cleansing/steralising I used Chemipro I have read some reviews. Has any one any tips advice? by the way the bre is 3 days old.
cheers steve

I take it there is no sign at all of fermentation having occurred. Have you taken a gravity reading?

How did you rehydrate the yeast?

If it hasn't started after 3 days you need to pitch some more yeast as soon as possible. Remember to aerate again just before pitching.

How well did you aerate the first time round?

thanks for taking time to give tips I did everything as per brupaks instructions rehydrated yeast in one cup of tepid water for about twenty mins as I said I have never done a brew this way and I aereated for five minsI don't think I will try these kits again

what was ur reading b4 adding yeast? sterilise ur hydrometer and test it now to make sure its fermenting. what temps it at mate?

What is the definition of Tepid?

Mine for example is around 30C . . . My daughters (judging by the shower temperature when I get in after here :twisted: :twisted: ) is around 45C . . .it has a big impact on yeast viability.

If you are going to rehydrate yeast you need to use a thermometer to measure the temperature and not guess it!!!

On the other hand it could have finished, and you have missed the fermentation . . . as others have said what was the OG and what is the gravity now??
