Hey.....I had the same issue with my first batch. I actually didn't get any activity for around 5 days, then went and took a gravity reading and nothing had changed. I must have stirred it up a bit, because it started fermenting after that. It turned out great! Just be patient, and give it a...

Maybe I should of said .022 and not .22. Does that make a difference?

I'm using a hydrometer. I'm a newb so not sure if that's what you are asking. I never had a violent fermentation that most speak of.

the temp of the sample is about 62 degrees. do I adjust for that?

75 dry yeast I think. malt extract kit.

That seems a little high. The airlock bubbled about once per minute after I moved carboy. I did not see...

And I sanitized the hell out of everything!

Ok, I'm a newbie. Brewed my first batch last Wednesday. I waited patiently until Saturday with no signs of fermentation. After further research and reading here, it appears I did not aerate enough when I added the dry yeast. So fast forward to Sunday, I decide to take a hydrometer reading...

Thanks!!!!
