Most of my beers start showing active fermentation after 18-24 hours or so. I would never stress unless I didn't see any action after 48 hours. A few times I have pitched and put the FV in the fridge not long before bed - next moring there's 7 - 8 cms of Kraussen on top. If I hadn't read some of the experiences on here I'd be freaking out at 18 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Try pitching on a yeast cake. Off to the races within 2hrs most times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is understandable though, as you are hugely over pitching. Something I have never done, I have harvested yeast but never dumped straight onto the cake.

Clean and crisp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
