Wyeast Budvar 2000
Evening,
Currently brewing a pilsner using Budvar 2000. I pitched the yeast on Sunday night (after brewing Saturday). The smack pack didn't swell overnight, so I waited another 12 hours before adding it (some 20 hours after the initial smack.
The yeast isn't too old (late June 16) and I still don't have any action in the airlock. I have my fridge set at 11 degrees and understand activity will lag a little, but I expected it to be bubbling by now.
A few questions:
Do I need to get some more yeast?
Is this batch ruined?
How long can I leave it before adding more yeast?

I may have jumped the gun. Just checked the fermenter and there seems to be a healthy layer of krausen. Still keen to hear anyone's thoughts on my questions.
Cheers
