Meads don't buildup a large krausen like beers do so if you see bubble
in the airlock that's about all there will be. A 1 gallon batch is not
going to generate as much CO2 as a larger batch so the bubbles won't be
as often.

I've just started making meads and have a yeast question.
I rehydrated and pitched a packet of Red Star Cotes de Blanc in a one gallon batch about
3 days ago and it doesn't seem to be doing much. There are bubbles going through the
air lock, but very slowly. In comparison, a 1 gallon batch I made last month with Lavlin
D-47 took off quickly and is still bubbling pretty good.
Is Cotes de Blanc slow and less active?
