bubbled for 1 day only

[WildCider]

This is my second kit that I have used and it went all good for the first couple of days took about 12 hours to start bubbling but stopped somewhere between the second and third day.
Is it worth bottling or should I dump it.

Don't dump it. Proceed as you would have with the kit instructions. I've been brewing over 30 years and I still have batches where I never see a bubble but the beer comes out fine. One good place to look if you don't see bubbles is the krausen ring around the fermenter. If the foam is still up to the ring, then fermentation is going on. Once the foam (krausen) falls back in to the beer it will leave a distinct ring where the top of the foam was.

dump it?!? that's crazy talk.
what was your og?
fg, or sg now?
what yeast are you using?
& what temperature is this fermenting at?

No, do not dump it. Let it sit a couple more days, to a week and take a gravity reading. May have been a fast ferment, may have a leak around the lid (if you are using a bucket) If it bubbled at all, that means for sure it was doing something, so more than likely, it made beer.

Thanks for the quick feed back.
Took the lid off and saw evidence of fermentation.
Gravity is 1.11 and it is at 26 degrees celsius.
So after checking the seals and resealing it has started to bubble.

Great! Now leave it alone, no peeking. Cover and check in another 10 days.
