Good day All

Did a brew day yesterday and used notty, but woke up this morning and theres no sign of life , I usually use US 05 but thought I would try this, Its only been 16 hrs ? leave it longer before pitching again ?

I would give it a bit longer. I find Notty is sometimes slow to start, but I've never had one fail before.

Yep it's a good strong yeast won't let you down. You'll have a more solid trub on bottom of the fv than us 05.

Also gv12 and wilkos yeast Are believed to be notts cheaper too

They are.
And they're pretty bombproof I think.
I wouldn't worry.

Did you rehydrate before pitching or just sprinkled dry yeast into the wort ?

I've always had Notty start within 12 hrs. Saturday's brewday using it saw activity within 5hrs.

You sure it's fermenting, and not just venting CO2 caused by nucleation on the hops?
