Here's the recipe (Started 3/1/08 at 2:30pm) This was my first 5 gallon batch. Been making 1 gallon batches for years with no issues.
for 5 gallons
12.5 lbs honey
2 tsp acid blend
1 tsp grape tannin
3 grams di-ammonium phosphate
OG 1.100 - just what I wanted
re-hydrated D-47 per package instructions. Yeast purchased in December.
no activity after 24 hours.
Ran to homebrew store for new package of yeast. Re-hydrated per package instructions
no activity after 24 hours.
Placing a weight on top of fermentor lid displaces fluid in airlock which holds it's level over time so the fermentor is sealed.
Opening fermentor it's obvious there is no activity.
Now what? Is this salvageable?
I have a packet of 71B-1122 and a Red Star Montrachet. Do I try these?
All the Best,
D. White
