Give it some time, Diddlez.The bubbleometer is not an accurate gauge. Yeast age, prior yeast handling, pitch rates, oxygen levels, temps and a whole bunch of things can effect the start of initial ferment.Can you hear CO2 bubbling when you stick your ear to the FV?Either way, you are right in that gravity testing is the only way to know, but it is far too early to be concerned. The old adage of "Relax, don't worry and have a homebrew" is an adage for a reason.You are also right in that you can always add more yeast later on if it is a complete dud. I'd bet that you are going to be completely fine.Cheers!
