I know the ridge that you speak of. You havr to put a rubber gasket on it before putting in the airlock. The molder didn't do a very good job with it, there was a lot of flashing that I had to trim. It makes sense that it would be leaking from there. I do have the condensation and the krausen so...

The pics were too big, I put them in my profile. Dave

I'm using a Coopers, it has a screw lid ans is tight, no air should be getting in.

I just took a reading. I started at 1.05 I'm now at 1.03, so I guess I'm ok. At what point should I bottle? thanks for the help, Dave

I am using a Coopers for my first batch, I posted here a few days ago about not having any bubbles in the air lock. It has been fermenting for 6 days now and I still haven't seen anything. Is this a sign that it's not fermenting correctly?

OK, this is my first post. It looks like there is a lot of good info here I'll be spending a lot of time trying to figure this home brew thing out. To my question, I got a Mr. Beer and my first batch started 2 days ago but there isn't any bubbles in the air lock yet. Is this normal or did I do...
