Yeah, there are bubbles on the surface and it looks like there is some activity there. It's just that the airlock hasn't started bubbling at all and it has me a little worriedshafferpilot said:apple juice just ferments really slowly..... and it takes weeks. I have no clue why, that's just how it goes. look again, are there little islands of bubbles on the surface?
Double check to make sure you've got a good seal around the airlock, and/or lid if you're using a bucket, or bung if it's a carboy. I guess I should assume carboy, since you can see bubbles. Second, my AW took like 3 days to really get "rolling" with like a bubble a second, and that went for a few days, but after it dropped back to a couple bubbles a minute it went for weeks that way. Top off the airlock when needed, and wait. It'll be fine. Also keep an eye on that airlock for fruit flies sneaking in. The little buggers kept gettin in my lock and I had to take a section of pantyhose and rubberband it over the airlock lid.fightguy said:Yeah, there are bubbles on the surface and it looks like there is some activity there.
