Hi guys
From what I am about to type, you can guess I am very new to the brewing game, in fact my 1st brew.
I have a Coopers Micro Brew kit. I was following all the instructons as well as a few from this forum. After 24 hours, i had no bubbles in the airlock....crap i thought. so to check I squeezed the fermenter. The water in the airlock rose and then to my astonishment some went into the fermenter.
Double crap!!1 as I seem to recall in previous threads that this is not good.
Could someone please advise whether I have cocked up.
btw. I have realised from other threads that not having a good seal is not as important a deal and my yeasy is fermenting as I have scum on the side and some condensation.
Brew is sitting on 20C.
Thanks in advance
