I brewed last Thursday and pitched the 1275 in the early evening the OG was 36, I took a reading yesterday (4 days) and it was still 18. Lifting the lid reveals a healthy looking thick yeast crop, it is working but so slowly. I roused it and put the lid back on.
Starting temp was 21c, I dropped it to 18c the next morning when there was signs of activity so temp varies between 17-18c specs say 16-22c
Out of interest I left the sample in the jar and put it in a warm spot approx 22c overnight. This morning after removing a good thick head the sg was 10
Anyone used this yeast and experienced similar, does it like it warmer.
Yeast was fresh Mfg 14 April 08 and the starter was going well.
