Not sure it is working.......

I liked the sound of the ingredients in this recipe, however, I am not sure that the dry champagne yeast is working properly. I am used to seeing the fermentation process in the air lock after 24 - 48 hours, but I have not seen this with this recipe. Am I doing something wrong? Time will tell.
