So this morning at about 7am, Roofpig came over and we started my first ever homebrew (he got me most of my equipment too so kudos to him for creating a monster). A very simple amber ale that he did his first time as well. I feel very comfortable with the process so far and everything went well during the boiling, transferring to the primary, and ice-bathing. Only odd thing during the boil was there were 3 hotbreaks as opposed to 2 like the package said. Im not worried about it.
After the boil, it cooled very quickly from the snow/water ice bath and it is currently sealed and sitting in my basement with the airlock that he got me.
Here's where my question comes in: he got me a double bubble airlock where there are lines where the water should be in each chamber. After plugging the hole, the water slowly changed sides from the "out" chamber and almost fully to the "in" chamber (pictured below). I added lines as to where the water is. Sorry for the poor quality, only had my cellphone to grab the pic.
Now, i am probably just overreacting because this is my first brew and i want it to go 100% right, but should I do anything to correct this? If i dont, what could possibly happen (for knowledge purposes). Sir Roofpig says it probably will just correct itself and i assume that is the case as well since there will be quite a bit of gas once the yeast start sexing and pooping and such so the gas would have to push the water over. But just to make sure, you know just what-if the gas doesnt have enough power to move the water, i have decided to ask you.
Also, this is an introduction thread for me as well since i have been lurking for a little while but havent said anything quite yet.
Any suggestions, tips, comments, jokes, etc will be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
