Wyeast Greenbelt experience ( fermentation questions)

I currently am in process of fermenting the AHBS Greenbelt blonde kit. I am very excited about it! I followed the directions to a t and am having some fermentation woes. I brewed this beer now 84 hours ago and have yet to see signs of fermentation. I decided to wash up and take a look inside the fermenter. What I saw was my wort and a few spots where little gas bubbles were rising. Saw a couple of white specs floating around also. Is this the start if fermentation or should I plan on repitching this once I have the chance? Should I just play the waiting game? Any help would be appreciated!

Btw this is my second brew so I am a newbie to homebrewing.

What's the temperature?

75 degrees.

how much did you pitch?

What kind of yeast did you use? Your temp is pretty warm. Your bier may have already fermented out. And yes, you are seeing signs of active fermentation. Wait a full week, and then take a gravity reading. It's probably fine.

He is using Greenbelt.

I came back to add this...at elevated/uncontrolled temps, the beer can start and be done fairly quickly.

txpete, Greenbelt has always been a slow starter for me (4 batches). My last brew (http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=13310), which I'll be bottling Friday, took three days or so to start and I wound up with about three inches of krausen. It continued to make the airlock burp for about 8 days. I think you'll be fine. pete

txpete, what ever happened?

txpete, any progress?
