Help. I can't figure out why my fermentation won't start. I brewed my must 4 days ago. Here's how it went:
Boiled 5 gallons of water
Turned off heat
Added 12 lbs wildflower and orange blossom honey
Steeped 25 minutes
chilled to 75F
racked into glass carboy with airlock
aerated with bottled oxygen and air stone
added 2 tsp yeast nutrient
added 2 tsp yeast energizer
pitched a swollen smack pack of Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast
Must has been sitting in the carboy at about 70F for 4 days with virtually no fermentation activity!
WHAT THE HECK HAVE I MISSED??????
Please help. Thanks.
