Guys,
The other day I made a MACRum wash and followed the directions to the letter, except for the yeast, I wanted to try my newly purchased EC1118 out on it. I hydrated it in sugar water correct temp waited 15 minutes yeast was active and building, added it the wash that was at 30C. I then stirred it in and then waited an hour or more and absolutely nothing. I then reverted back to 80g Lowen's hydrated, activated, added and boom off like a rocket.
Can anyone give some tips of where I may have gone wrong? Does the EC1118 have any quirks I should aware of, most of the reading I've done tell of it being quite reliable.
Another question with pitching yeast, pour in the wash and leave OR pour in the wash and gently stir it evenly about?
Cheers
