I have not notice my air lock bubbling, I have had beer going for 3 days. Are bubbles always going or do I have to watch it for ages?
It really depends on a lot of things. If you aerated properly, pitched the right amount of yeast, and had good sugar conversion (assuming you were brewing all grain), then you should have seen air-lock activity all ready. You must also have an absolutely air tight seal around the top of the bucket or bung depending on if you are using bucket or carboy. The only way to know for sure that the yeast is not doing anything is to take a gravity reading. If it has dropped, then they are doing their job.
As long as you have an air-tight seal, you should probably see some airlock bubbling when fermentation gets going.
