I have a williamsbrewing.com kit for muscat, and as it comes in two cans I have the ability to make 1/2 the kit at a time. So I put the juice, and water, and yeast for 3 gallons into a 3.5 gallon bucket with airlock and sealed her up.
I have a thermometer stuck on and it has fluctated a bit between 76 and 78 degrees, but now on day 4 still no bubbles in the airlock.
On day 3 with no bubbles I opened the bucket and there were slight bubbles on top (wouldn't call it foam), and it smelled like it was fermenting slightly.
So how worried about this should I be? The directions say that it will be in this primary for 14 days, is it just slow?
