I brewed my first batch ( a half batch 2.5gal). I did not buy a specialized fermentation tub, but used a standard 5gal white plastic tub from hardware store with a lid that is tight but does not seal airtight. I chilled my wort down to about 65degrees and pitch a packet of dry ale yeast. Gave it a vigorus stiring to aerate. Slapped on the lid fitted with a stopper and airlock. I then wrapped the edge of the lid with super duct tape to seal it to the bucket. I have it sitting is a cool dark place and have yet to see a buble after 36hrs.
What is the problem?
The bucket is only half full with wort. It is the bucket, the seal or the yeast?
