Slow to start
« on: June 05, 2017, 11:08:54 am »
I brewed a Irish Dry Stout, l.053, three days ago, on Friday.  I pitched a James Bond starter of Wyeast Irish Ale yeast that was four months old.  I forgot to aerate.  Little to no action as of today.  What do ya'll think I should do?

I'd give it another day or so, but that may just be me.

Check your gravity.

What does anyone think about aerating now and letting the stone rouse the yeast at the same time?

Do you have a packet of dry yeast handy?

Just as a followup.  I checked gravity on this beer today.  1.018 after 17 days fermenting.  Fusel off flavor and aroma.  Somewhat metallic.  Not like my past Irish Stouts. Second possible dumper in over two hundred brews.
