How do I speed up fermentation ?

Help Support The Homebrew Forum:
Just make sure that your brew maintains an even temp throughout fermentation (whatever is recommended for the yeast you are using).
Personally I feel that anything 'extra' you do to your brew is going to have an effect on the yeast and therefore flavour.

Pitch more yeast at the start seems like the obvious thing to do.

Why :?
The brewing process is something that takes time for best results to be obtained. You can speed it up by wacking up the temperature, but the result will not be the same at a gentle fermentation.
A good starter yeast starter and a constant temperature is the way to be going I think.

What sort of timescales are you trying to achieve? Do you think ther fermentation has stalled?

Try using a yeast starter so that you are pitching quite a volume of yeast. I reawaken a yeast cake from my previous brew by putting it in a dj with about a litre with 200g of spray malt I think. Leave it afew days then brew you beer and pitch.
