From our FAQ:
Question #19: I followed the directions and nothing is happening. What do I do?
Answer: If you don't see signs of active fermentation (bubbling, yeast residue beginning to float on the top of the liquid, etc) after 24 hours, add more yeast and shake the beverage vigorously. Also check to see if your juice ingredients list preservatives as they are difficult to start fermentation. If still no fermentation after another 24 hours, contact us for further instructions and give details about the ingredients you have added.
Another sign that fermentation has started is the bottle will get hard from the gas building up.
