So I have used my conical two times now and am pleased with the outcome. However, both times, I have drained my yeast and trub and the airlock, expectedly, takes on negative pressure and even sucks in some oxygen.
My experiences in homebrewing and understanding of simple elements says that CO2 is heavier than Oxygen, so even when O2 is drawn back into the conical, it should rest on top of the CO2 that is already filling the dead space.
Any thoughts on this?
Should I be worried? I mean, I am sure others experience this as well. Just want to see what everyone else thinks.
Thanks,
Wes
