Ok, so basically, I'm just wondering how much activity I'm supposed to see in the air lock. After about one day I was seeing a bubble every ~2 seconds. Day 2 - about every 3 seconds, and now day 3 about 7-8 seconds. For some reason, in my mind, I had imagined that it would be bubbling like a fish tank during the first couple days. So how much activity does everyone else see? Should I still let it go for 7 days?
Side note: I put the lid on the bucket, and then tried to put the air lock in, and somehow pushed the rubber grommet through...it couldn't be retrieved, so I just let it go for the time being, and we we tried to put some paper towel around the stem of the air lock to make sure it was a tight fit, so I guess it's possible there's a slight air leak there, but it seemed like it was pretty snug and should be ok.
Any thoughts?
