    how can i tell if fermentation taking place?

    It has been about 32 hours since I put my beer in the fermentor. I'm making American Amber from a Brewer's Best kit. My airlock is not bubbling. If I press down really hard on the top of my plastic fermentor, it begins to bubble, so I think it is sealed. When I open the top, I see a foam on...
