[/quote:1dn3phrs] I have 6 brews at this stage, and not one bubble has appeared at any point if fermentation, but everything worked out fine. In about 5 weeks you'll be brewing another, and drinking your current one. It doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks all for your help and encouragement.
