Anyone out there that runs a small part 91 flight department? I have some questions about what the job entails if you’ve got a minute. Thanks!

Looking for some advice. After being really interested for many years, I finally took the plunge, bought a Clawhammer 10gal 120v and have started brewing some beer. I ordered an Oktoberfest kit from More Beer! And brewed it yesterday according to their instructions and with a phone call or two to their customer service line. But it went pretty well. I ordered Wyeast 2633 Octoberfest yeast from them with the kit and being new to this, didn’t realize or see the option for ice packs and insulated mailers etc with the yeast. So I pitched yesterday afternoon around 1:30 and all day nothing happened. I figured it had to be the yeast, so I called around and decided to pitch more yeast and try again. I went to my home brew shop and grabbed what they had, WLP820. Pitched again about 7hrs ago. Still nothing. So my question is, what the hell?

P.S. I know I really dove into the deep end of this hobby, I’m trying to pressure ferment, I went straight to “all grain” and I’m looking down the barrel of a fairly steep learning curve. Is my spunding valve set correctly? Could I have possibly pitched 4 dead packets of yeast? Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. Also, I’m not allowed to post pictures of my fermenter for some reason but it’s a Fermzilla Tri conical 7gal with a spunding valve.
