Rusrahl is right. Remove the buds from the stems and give it a good shake every day. If the bud sticks together, then dump it all out, separate them and stick them all back in the jar. Do it daily until when you give them a shake they separate easily. When they do just pop the top fornancouple of minutes and check the next day and the next. By my 3rd day of them not sticking to each other, then I switch to burping them once a week. Hope this helps!
