So I pitched a batch of continental pilsner yesterday and the yeast went crazy. By the next morning I opened the top and there was a nice layer of bubbles. But still no activity in the airlock.
Last batch after we bottled it we realized that the grommet in between the plastic pail top and the airlock was broken. I went to my LHBS and he had an extra and just gave it to me. I replaced it and jammed the airlock in there nice and tight and still nothing in the burper.
I also tried taking the lid off and rotating it 90º. Is there any other fixes for this problem. I am going to buy a glass carboy this weekend I think but I want to still use this as a primary fermenter.
