I recently tried lagering for the first time, and it's been 5 days without a single bubble in the air lock. So I was concerned but it looks like there's some new trub at the bottom, and I found some similar concerns on here where it sounds like lagers are slow and may not cause the air lock to bubble. So I stopped worrying. Now I've got a cream ale going and it's been about 60 hours, again no bubbles in the airlock. In both cases I'm using two new plastic buckets I just bought. I noticed the lids don't have a seal like my old ones, but they fit nice and tight and one would hope if the seal was needed it would be included. So I'm wondering if maybe the CO2 is escaping through the lid. Has anyone used these buckets?
