No, that is not good. What exacly do you mean is not happening. Is it just the air lock that doesn't bubble? Did it build up some foam? If yes, then the fermentation got going all right. How did it look like the next morning? Any sign of foam on top of it? Other things growing/moving in the bottle? > Er der nogen der har erfaringer, eller gode råd i denne situation?

Well, you could always drop another pack of dry yeast in it, just in case you killed the first one with a too high temperature or something else. How does the brew look like? Does it give interesting smells? Have you taken a sample and checked has been happening with the gravity? Tasted that sample? Still sweet? Getting sour? What yeast did you use, anyway? And what was your OG? Sorry, more questions than answers. -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk
