Got my 1st Brew on

[fatbelly]

Hi All,
Today I have brewed my first ever HB. I have done a 2 Can St Peters Golden Ale.
All went well I think but I did make the mistake of putting then yeast in when the water temp was 29c.
Will this temp kill the yeast? Its been 5 hours since I brewed and not a peep from the bubble air lock

no your yeast will be ok in slightly warm wort where are you keeping you brew try to find somewhere waem but not over hot

was a bit high you may have killed the yeast but just wait to see if it starts, if not pitch another sachet of yeast at 23 deg c ish :thumb:

Welcome to the forum :

Temperature was fine.

There is usually a ‘lag time’ of several hours before you get any noticeable activity, the yeasts are busy multiplying and taking over the bucket.

Bubblers on buckets don't always bubble anyway unless the lids are absolutely gas tight, which they rarely are.

Thanks for the swift relies guys.
The bucket is currently in our dining room which is warm but not hot.
How will I know if the yeast is still alive?
Would it hurt to throw in another sachet of yeast whether or not?

give it time around 24 hours you should see signs if you open the FV you should see foam on top usually a good sign but try not to keen opening the FV keeps a nice c02 layer over the brew and stops the litle nasties getting in
