Fermentation

I started my cider about 12 hours ago and it is not bubbling. How long does it take to start bubbling? Should I add another package of dry yeast?

I've had some batches that don't seem to bubble for over a week (and even then only bubble every hour or so) and other batches that start bubbling in an hour.

Bubbling isn't really a great indicator of fermentation. If you're really worried maybe try measuring it with a hydrometer in a couple of days, but its probably nothing to worry about.

Give it at least 72 hours before worrying about it. Keep it at room temperature, not too cold, not too hot, and then check it in 72 hours.
