Howzit all....
Did my first Wheat brew, a BREWCRAFT BAVARIAN WHEAT with the BC aust wheat conversion kit, BREWCELLAR Wheat yeast(pitched @ approx 17deg), 25gr of ground coriander, 2tbl of orange zest and hersbrucker hops. It's sitting in the can cooler bag with 3x2.4ltr bottles of frozen briny water which get replaced twice a day to keep the temps down to about 12deg approx.
I am having some concerns that there is no airlock activity, no bubbling of any sort :blink: . I've confirmed a positive seal on the lid, the seal itself is brand new, as is the airlock and the grommet. I've given the fermenter a slight roll within the coller bag without sloshing the wort to maybe get it going but no-go.
I am in danger of uttering a 4 letter word soon and it won't be something nice like f%$*...... :angry:
Anyone gots any ideas, or are wheat brews slow to go in general????
thanx in advance to any and all useful responses......
