There are several reasons this could happen:
# The yeast was dead to begin with. # Something is wrong with the conditions for the yeast (temperature, infection, pollution). # The yeast was under pitched and is growing so slowly you can't tell. The solution to numbers 1 and 3 is to re-pitch the yeast as soon as it's apparent that the yeast is not growing. You'll want to use a starter if possible to give the yeast a good head start over any potential infection in the brew.
The solution to number 2 is to correct any environmental problems (like temperature) and re-pitch the yeast as needed. If the problem is infection or pollution, however, the batch of beer is basically done for. You may not find this out until the re-pitched yeast also fails to grow.
Yeast storage problems are usually the cause of number 1. Be sure to keep liquid yeast packets refrigerated until hours before they are ready to be used.

Can you brew beer with bakers yeast?
Since it's yeast, it would produce beer but not nearly at the quality a specific beer brewing yeast would. Beer brewing should use specific strains of yeast to properly activate fermentation that turns the sugars of the beer into alcohol. Different types of beer require different types of yeast in the recipe to turn out properly. Baker's yeast is specifically intended for baking, while Brewers yeast is what you would want to use for brewing beer. If you use bakers yeast for beer brewing, your recipe will not turn out properly and your batch of beer will be probably not taste very good.

What is the job of yeast in beer brewing?
The yeast eats the fermentable sugars in the that are in the wort, the unfermented beer. When the yeast eats the sugars, it produces two things, alcohol and CO2. When this happens you have the carbonation that is in beer, along with the alcohol. Yeast + Glucose = Alcohol (Ethanol) + CO2
What two industries benefit from alcoholic fermentation?
Two ways that alcoholic fermentation is used in the food industry?
What is the result of bubbles in beer and in wine?

Does beer or wine contain yeast?
Yes, both beer and wine contain yeast. Yeast plays a crucial role in the fermentation process, converting sugars into alcohol. In beer, yeast is added during the brewing process, while in wine, yeast is often naturally present on the grape skins or added to start fermentation.
Which pathogen causes fermentation?
Yeast is a common microorganism that causes fermentation. Specifically, species of Saccharomyces yeast are often used in fermentation processes, such as brewing beer and making bread.
Is yeast used in the brewing?
Yes. Yeast is also created with the brewing process's.
What is the science of brewing beer called?
The science of brewing beer is called zythology. It involves studying the chemical and biological processes that occur during the fermentation of ingredients like barley, hops, water, and yeast to produce beer.
How much yeast is contained in 12 ounces of beer?
The amount of yeast in beer varies but generally there is very little yeast left in the final product. The yeast is responsible for fermentation, converting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide during the brewing process. By the time the beer is packaged and ready for consumption, most of the yeast has been removed or settles out of the liquid.
