I have been frustrated by what seems to be the 6% ABV ceiling with our brew rig and decided to try an all grain pure no sparge batch yesterday.
All seemed to go well with an outstanding 1.087 OG...new territory for me without a doubt. I put about 5-5 1/2 gallons into the fermenter and pitched 3 x Wyeast #1272 to try and offset the high gravity and over 24 hours later things seem dead?? I did overcool the batch a bit (64F) before I pitched but it was well oxygenated and I stirred it thoroughly as I do all batches and they are usually rolling pretty well by this time.
Right now it is at 72F (top of the range) and not a peep from the airlock? Should I repitch? Hate to sacrifice this batch due to a simple miscalculation on the yeast.
Thanks for any help,
Jim
