Ok! So I brewed last week and just wanted to peek and see if everything was going on nicely! I open up my bucket, and it looks exactly like it did when I put it in there! Is this a wasted batch? And, what could I have done wrong????

Forget to pitch the yeast? If its been a week with no fermentation I'd through another dose of yeast in there.
I agree,it looks like absolutely nothing happened in there. Look around & see if you forgot the yeast packet. If you did pitch & it looks like that,the yeast were DOA,or you pitched when the wort was above 120F or so.

As it turns out, the yeast I used was dead! I pitched in again and.........whamo! That stuff was going crazy!! Moving over to Carboy this weekend and gonna let it sit until December 1....then bottle and hopefully enjoy a few weeks later!!
Selenite!
First of all congrats on fermentation.
Depending on the style of beer or perhaps wiser heads prevailing, I do not think you wanna leave it that long sitting in fermenter.

He said something about transferring to a secondary. It would be fine in a secondary until then as long as there isn't much headspace. But I would probably just do a 4-5 week primary and then bottle.
