Hi
I'm running into a lot of misinformation and maybe just confusing the situation.
I've brewed wine many times so i thought id try out making beer
I had 3 successful ready-brew kits (just add yeast) & thought I'd try an extract kit and slowly get to making my own wort ect. baby steps.
My problem today is 5 days ago set up the kit following the instructions to the t
I used the yeast the kit came with & there is no aggressive fermentation (which is what I'm used to)
Our room temperature is 18C-20C
I spoke with the local micro brewer I bought my previous kits and he sold me a dry lager yeast
I've added that yesterday and today there is only minimal signs of activation.
What temperature should the room be?
How long does it take to start fermenting vigorously?
Can i somehow save it? Is it a goner?
Please offer your suggestions & feel free to ask any questions
I'm new be gentle
Thanks
