Hi guys! I used to make wine with my parents when I was younger and so I've attempted to make some ginger beer, I followed the recipe exactly and sealed the fermentor an hour and a half ago. Since then no bubbles have passed through the air lock. The air lock and lid are sealed with vaseline so the air can't be leaking. I stired the mixture after adding the yeast, would this have caused a problem?

Should it be bubbling by now?
If no bubbles occur then should I add another pack of yeast? Maybe restarter yeast?

Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advance!

Give it a day or two. Yeast undergo a growth phase before significant CO2 is produced.
