Is my beer fermenting properly?

[JoeWood86]

Hello,

I've tried making my own wine a few times in the past and I've had some reasonable success. Yesterday I tried brewing beer for the first time - Coopers British Bitter from their international series. I sanitised everything before I started and mixed everything as per the instructions but nothing happened all day yesterday. When I got up this morning it is bubbling through the airlock like it should. Is this normal for beer? From my experience with wine fermentation starts pretty much as soon as you add the yeast.

Any advice anyone can share would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Joe

Kit beer yeast can take up to 2 days to show any signe of fementation (foam on to of the wort) try to keep it at a steady 18 - 20oc.

Thanks Corby Brewer! It was foaming on the top this morning, which sounds promising! :-)
