I brewed a brown four nights ago. I noticed for the past two days it was not bubbling in my airlock. Not happy but not deflated cause I know these things happen. So after the 3rd day I inspected my brew bucket and I learned that the stopper and the airlock was still attached to the lid it was not as tight as I had it when I set the brew aside to do it's thing. When I touched the stopper and it easily was lifted off the lid I could see the fermentation working. I had it off maybe 3 or 5 seconds and immediately put the stopper back on and pushed it down tight. Now it is bubbling like I usually know.
My questions are:
My questions are:
- is it normal or known that the pressure when starting the fermentation can push the stopper out?
- with how loose the stopper was and my quick discovery and pushing the stopper back in, is my brew destroyed?
- Do I just continue and see what happens? I never have had this issue nor had my brew exposed until the fermentation process was done. so I am in new territory?
