Having just bottled my first ever brew which is the "Festival Father Hooks" ale i decided to get a second on the go and went for the "Woodfords Admiral Reserve" Trouble is after 5 hours theres no bubbles coming through the air lock and the water in there is level in both the chambers. Fermentation doesnt seem to have started at all. The fesival kit started fermenting straight away so im now worried at the woofords seeming to be dead.
I did everything to the instructions apart from there being no mention of the hop powder packet. It did say on the packet though to add prior to the yeast which i did. I made sure the wort wasnt too hot and added the hop powder gave it a stir and then added the yeast. Gave it a final stir and sealed it up.
Am i just being a bit impatient? do i have a faulty batch? or did i do something wrong?
Any thoughts on this please guys?
Thanks, Rob.
