So i recently pitched some Nottingham into a bucket of cider (OG 1.070), and i was a little concerned when the next day i didn't see any activity in the air lock, and again the next, and the next. it became apparent that i had a sealing issue with my bucket and when i opened the top i did indeed see some small bubbles popping up to the top, but absolutely no krausen anywhere. i checked the gravity when i peeked and it was already at 1.018 after only a few days.
My concerns, without opening the top again and exposing it to the air, how long should i wait to check the FG and rack off? Its coming up to the two week mark in a couple days and Im concerned with the oxygen issue and checking. Could the Nottingham have run its course already?
