My 3 piece airlock may have malfunctioned. I noticed it needed to be topped off a little this morning, so when I went to fill it back up to the line I realized the floating part was stuck to the part that goes thru the lid.
I pressed down on the lid to see if this would release it, but it did not. It didn't even bubble. So now I am thinking that the floating part was filled to the top with water. Now I am afraid that when I pressed down on the lid and released it that it may have sucked some water back into the pail.
I have had this batch in the Primary for 22 days now, its a Nut Brown Ale.
Do you guys think it will be OK???? The more I think about it too, there were a couple of drops of water on the underside of the floating part so I really think it sucked in........
Strange thing is I never saw any bubbles what so ever when I pushed down or when I released the lid.
