This is my first brew in about 20 years and maybe I am just missing something but let me ask anyway. I made a 5 gallon batch of Summer Weiss from a kit with extracts, bitters and finishing hops using Heferweiss liquid yeast. Boiled for an hour and it took like 6 hours to get below 90 degrees F when i pitched the yeast (approx 88 F). The wort is in a 6 gallon plastic bucket with a poly liner bag and airlock. It didn't bubble at all for like 16 hours then went crazy for about 10 hours and now seems to have stopped. There is foam on top of the wort and seems to be pressure in the container but no bubbles. Should I be concerned, re-pitch some new yeast or just leave it alone for a week or so? There might be a slow leak using the plastic container with the bag in it. maybe next time i will use just the container w/o out the bag or my old glass carboy to try a better seal. Comments!
BTW, right now it is in front of an AC vent so it is sort of cold.
