We are brewing our first lager.
We are trying the Geordie Lager 40pt: http://www.the-online-homebrew-company.co.uk/home-brew/homebrew-wine-making/316/geordie-lager-40pt/
We followed the instructions and set the bin/lid (with an airlock - photo attached below) in a room that is between 19-23C.
My dad mentioned that when he tried a homebrewing wine a long while ago, the airlock bubbled every few seconds.
Are we meant to be seeing the water in the airlock bubble sometimes with this lager kit?
We tried putting a sealed sandwich bag over the top of the airlock and tied it using an elastic band so that no air could escape but after 24 hours, there was still no air in the bag. Is this right?
