Good news! Today I woke up to a bubbling air lock and a very nice smelling garage. By my guessumation my wort was to cold to start fermentation, I raised the wort temp by placing a heating pad with the temp set on low under the primary and raising the wort temp to 75deg. I will keep an eyeonit. This...

I purchased the yeast from Midwest supply experiation date on the vial was May 19 2009. Perhaps the yeast had been previously frozen? or just bad. I will taste the wort if good I'll repitch with something else.
Thanks

Wort temp at pitching was 70deg, well areated wort prior to pitching yeast, Was not a smack pack just a tube of wyeast 1056 warmed to 70deg (room temp), no air leaks in fermenter, fermenter at 66deg. may repitch and see what happens
