Fermentaiton Didn't Start

[craigmtc]

I started Northumberland Brown Ale kit on Sunday with Rubbish instructions. I tipped the yeast in with the temp perhaps a little loe at 20-25. Fermentation hasn't started, I know that i need to add more yeast but don't have any, and can't get to my homebrew store.

The only place I could get to would be Wilkinsons tonight, but no if there yeast will be rubbish. Also if I don't get yeast quickly will this go off?

Thanks in advance.

20-25 degrees is about the optimum temperature for pitching your yeast,fermentation can take several hours to kick in, give it more time

Sorry I have updated my original meesage to say that I started this brew on Sunday.

Have you been monitoring it? You may have just had a very fast ferment, I had the same issue the other day with a brew. You may want to check the gravity to see if it hasn't just fermented really quickly. Otherwise keep it warm (20 c is optimum) and give it a good stir without aerating it.

Thans Immy's Dad. I will take a gravity reading, however, I check it a number of times on Sunderland, and also a yesterday morning and last night.

The instructions are really porr with this kit. It basically tells you to make the kit up, leave if for 5 days, then bottle it? No priming syrup, suggestion on gravity readings or anything like you would expect.

Cheers
