I'm using a blow off tube for the first time and have concerns that it's not making a proper seal. It has been 12 hours since I pitched the yeast and I'm not seeing any activity. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Wouldn't worry much after only 12 hours. It often takes a full day or even 2 or 3 to show signs of fermentation.
 
Also keep in mind that it'll take a bit more pressure to make them big ol' blow off bubbles. Its not like blowing through a tsp of liquid in an airlock.

Give it time, you're probably fine.
 
Advice? There is a sticky above this very topic that warns you about fermentation taking up to 72 hours to shows visible signs.

Relax.
 
Word, thanks for talking me down.

yea man. drop the hammer. step away from the bathtub. leave the beer- it is safe :tank:


My delivery is going to be in 2 days from now. Expected it today. Im about to start blowing bubbles from my airlock....
