Well, as of now it will be 60 hours (2 and 1/2 days) since I pitched my yeast.
After a day, I saw signs of fermentation... the foam on top and crud on the sides. Yet I saw no airlock bubbles. I took my sanitized beer spoon and mixed it all up.
I peaked under the lid last nite (48 hours after pitching) and saw the foam and crud had returned.
One day after I mixed it up (right now) there have still yet to been airlock bubbles. I opened the lid today and saw a bunch of crud on the side, but the foam was nearly gone.
I swear I could have smelled what smelled like alcohol mixed with a slight smell of rotten eggs. Maybe that's just the yeast.
Why am I not getting airlock bubbles? Does it seem like the wort is fermenting? I am freaking out.
thanks for the input.
