Well I dumped the packet of dry yeast in yesterday evening and this morning it is off to the races. Large active krausen. I'll wait till fermentation is done then do a taste test. Thanks.
BTW What does mold taste like?
So, when was that picture taken? Post or pre pitching?
From another post on this forum:
"I brewed the beer Thursday, 4/26/18. Pitched yeast @ 21:30, at 50*. 60 seconds of pure O2 through a stone at the bottom of the conical fermenter. One pack of Wyeast 2206, dated 3/31/18, in Shaken not Stirred method (one Qt. wort). Which was started at ~12:00... maybe a bit late?
First airlock activity today (4/28) 09:00. ~36 hours.
But the airlock activity didn't increase like it usually does, so I decided to run to the LHBS to get some dry yeast. I'd concluded that I under-pitched dramatically."
So the picture above is post-initial pitch, but pre-dry yeast pitch.
