Vintner merlot kit done 3 days ago but no bubbles yet?

We started our Vintner Merlot kit 3 days ago....but still have no bubbles in the air lock. What to do???


Repitch with a healthy starter!

How long is a piece of string????

Did you properly clean, sterilize and RINSE all your equipment (by rinse I mean at least three times)?

Are you sure the fermenter is air-tight and not leaking?

Did you half fill the bubbler with water (not steriliser)?

You didn't chuck in the Stabiliser instead of the Yeast? :-)

Is it warm enough (17-24 c)?

Hope this helps and hope vino turns out to be a gudun.
