Hi everyone, fairly new to brewing. The last four batches I've made have had no bubbling. Fermentation is happening. Krausens are forming, gravity readings are changing and good beer is happening but I can't figure out why there are no bubbles. I have a few theories and I was wondering if anyone would have input.
I use 6.5 gallon bucket for five gallon batches. Is the extra space just accommodating the gas produced? The water in the air lock shifts with pressure changes but no bubbles. My other thought is that the seal isn't secure. Last time I taped around the lid but no change.
If it doesn't matter I'll just leave it alone but if it has the potential to affect my beer and prevent me from making the best beer I can I want to figure it out.
Any input would be welcome, thanks in advance.
