I have only used the dry yeast before and yesterday while picking up supplies for a batch of oatmeal stout I was sold White labs liquid bleach. I thought it would save me the time of letting me skip the process of soaking the yeast in lukewarm water while I'm cooking.
I did what I have always done and just dumped the yeast solution into the Primary once the wort had cooled to 75F. Imagine my surprise when I checked my primary this morning and the airlock wasn't bubbling away.
I started investigating and suspect that I screwed the pooch and should have started 3 days ago. OOPS, I need to get some bubbles going ASAP before I end up with some nasty infection.
Can I add Dry yeast to get it going? Will fermentation start at some point?
Next time I will RTFM.
