Step 3Take a cheeky peek.
after 2 days in the bucket give the brew a little peek. if the natural yeast is doing its job there shuold be bubbles on the top, maybe some foam and possibly even some fuzzy mould - dont panic this just means the yeast is doin its fermenting job and turning the sugar into alcohol!
if there are none of these signs add a little pinch of dried yeast. if you have a brewers yeast thats great if not go to your local bakery and ask nicely for a pinch of live yeast and they might give you some paste looking gunk. im sure you can guess what to do with it now ....Chuck it in the bucket and stir it all up!
after this, whether u added the yeast or not, put the bucket back in the cool dry place for another 4 days
