Hey:
I think I'm having issues here. Well, this is a contiuation the the Charlie Foxtrot post. First batch, brewing went well, cooling the wort was fine, I'm sure I aerated the wort and pitched the yeast. I placed the lid on the fermenter and pushed the airlock in, well, the rubber grommet fell into the wort so I wedged the airlock in the hole hoping for a descent seal.
Fermenting temp is 72 F.
Just over 24 hours and no evidence of airlock activity. So my experienced homebrewing buds, where to go from here?
I also read about yeast, i did use White Labs California Ale liquid yeast without a starter, could this cause a lag time?
Thanks
John
