Alright I am having trouble or at least I think I am. It has been a whole day since I sealed my fermenting bucket and there still aren't any bubbles in the airlock. I am not sure if my mead is fermenting or not. In the recipe I used
3 pounds of honey
1 galleon of water
1 packet of Lalvin D47
1 tsp of yeast nutrient
I followed the directions on activating the yeast and kept it within the temperature range while it was activating. The only thing I can think of and I may be wrong considering I am new at this, but the must was still warm from when I blended the honey and water in a pot. The must was the same temperature as the yeast when I pitched the yeast. I even put some of the must in the yeast after the 20 minutes that the packet said.
Please help I don't know much about this at all.
