Hello -
This is my third batch. On Sunday 2/1/09 I brewed a True Brew Beer Ingredient Kit (Bock). I guess this would be considered "partial mash" perhaps due to the crushed grains?
Anyway - I pitched the yeast (dry yeast packet) that came with the kit. It is now 5 days later and i haven't witnessed any bubbling out of the airlock like my other two batches.
It is about 68 degrees in our house. I put a small space heater in the room where the fermenter is located to increase the temp to 72 - still no bubbles. If i depress the lid - it will bubble. I have done this a few time and now the internal piece of the 3 piece airlock show no sign of "rising back to the top"
Question: Should I be worried? Can I do something about it? What should I do?
Thanks for all the help.
