I am brand new to brewing, and have some EZ caps batches going that don't APPEAR to be fermenting very much after 3 days. There are bubbles forming, but they are not building up it appears, as there is only a thin line on the edge against the bottle. I followed instructions as read on this site and a video on youtube. The receipt I used was like this: (for a 3.8Liter batch): 1.5 cups golden light DME, 1 cup corn sugar, ~1.5 tbsps on hops. Slow boiled for 25 mins, let cool to room temp and added yeast that came with EZ Caps, ~1/4 tsp. AFter 2 days I added maybe another 16th of a tsp to each 2 liter bottle. Both times adding yeast, I shook one bottle and did not shake the other. (Because I saw instructions showing both, so thought I'd try both). They are sitting right around 72-73 deg F. So, my question is, does this sound like normal fermentation, or should I see more bubbles, like I do with the wines I have going???
