Using CO2 in bottling from a bucket fermenter

Did you read the instructions... Nobody mentioned making a starter.

What part of 'lob in' was confusing

Well, I'm not convinced the yeast survived. I thought it looked like it was waking up in the starter, but after pitching it into the wort, there is no signs of life at all. I'm going to give it until the morning, then if it's not bubbling I'm going to toss in a sachet of dried yeast (I might draw off a sample before that and leave it in a warm place to see if anything happens)

Good shout.

Nope. No sign of life at all this morning. A sachet of CML Belgian is rehydrating and going in this morning.

Mashbag! You have done me badly with this idea!

"done you badly"

I think you have naughty hands that don't follow instructions.
