It was very foamy when I poured it into the fermenter.

So should I add more yeast at this point? *EDIT* OMG!!! I just checked on it and I have bubbles! it's like one every three minutes but they're there. I'm surprised after opening the fermenter to take the pic it started bubbling so soon. Maybe moving the fermenter out of the pantry to take...

So I opened up the fermenter and it at least smells like beer. There were bubbles but I wouldn't call it a lot of bubbles. I've triple checked the lid and don't see where there'd be an air leak, it's snapped on all the way around. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it so here's a pic.

OK, so it has now been a full three days since I sealed the fermenter and no bubbles yet!! How much longer should I wait?

The yeast says DORIC active dry brewing yeast

OK, it's been 48 hours and no bubbles...I have the fermenter in the pantry, should I move it someplace a little warmer?

So how cool is too cool for the wort to be? If my room temp is about 66 or 67, will the yeast do it's thing?

I hope someone answers this soon, I started my first ever batch on this past Sunday, poured the wort into the fermenter around 5:30 PM and pitched the dry yeast right into the wort like the recipe said too. Now it's Tuesday morning @ 8:30 AM with no bubbles in the airlock. I'm starting to get...

So if I don't have a wort chiller, how long is it safe to wait for the temp to get down to 70-80 degrees? The books and instructions I've read make it sound like if the wort hasn't cooled in like an hour bad bacteria will move in and ruin the batch. Next time should I just pour the wort in...

I pitched the yeast at about 95 degrees. The book that came with my equipment kit said that I needed to bloom the yeast in warm water and the instructions that came with the ingredient kit I got from the homebrew store said to just add it to the wort. I figured that 95 would be blooming...

I just started my first batch yesterday and after 24 hours there are no bubble in the airlock. What do I need to do? If my yeast died, can I add another pack or do I have to start all over?
