Is it fermenting?

[Zorlee]

Hi guys! Thank you so much for this wonderful forum! =)

I made my first batch yesterday. (Coopers Beer kit - Pilsner).
I made it like the manual told me to (I used Coopers Brewer enhancer instead of sugar).
The thing is, I made it together with a lot of friends. Their batches went crazy fermenting after 5-6 hours (a lot of air-lock bubbles, much foam etc), but mine took around 36 hours to get just some air-bubbles (I'm guessing 6-7 bubbles a minute).
We used the same kits, the only difference was that they used malt and I used the Coopers brewer enhancer.

Should I just wait this out?
I don't own a hydrometer right now (but! I will definitely buy one!), so I can't do any readings.
I'm really sorry if this has been asked before, but when I saw my friends' buckets, I just started wondering if I've screwed up my batch...

Thank you guys so much for your help!

You're fine. Sometimes it takes longer. Depends on the exact yeast, yeast age, yeast emotions , temperatures, etc. Don't sweat it. What temp are you fermenting at?

I would suggest getting a hydrometer, it is incredibly valuable in helping to determine when your beer is done.

Put on some Barry White for the yeast. They'll thank you for it.

The title of this thread reminds me of "Will It Blend?"

Don't worry about your beer, you're on your way.
