Okay, so quick question - I brewed a batch of this on Wednesday night. Its my 3rd time, so I am pretty comfortable with the process... But I have yet to see any airlock activity, and its Saturday morning. The only thing that I can see the difference being is the temperature. Usually I had been brewing this in the summer. My bucket sat in my basement at about 70*. Now that its winter, the same spot is about 62*. Still used Notty, just like before - but way slower startoff. I do have an Irish Red that I have going with BRY-97, and it took off normally and is bubbling like crazy still...
EDIT: So, after checking on it right now, I can tell that its going well in the bucket, however, the lid is leaking tiny air bubbles, just the smallest bit. I can hear it with my ear right next to it, now that I have a very quiet house. I have tried duct taping it down hard, but its still leaking. Will this be okay to leave, or should I try to transfer to another primary?
I've never had this happen before.
