First ferment question

[JJJK29]

I brew an El Hefe kit yesterday.

Everything seemed to go well and temperatures were good across the board during each step of my brewing process.

I filled up my fermenter and pitched the yeast. Well I re-hydrated it then added it to my cooled wort.

I added vodka to my airlock as suggested by my kit instructions. It's been fermenting for about 12 hours. I noticed this morning that the right bubble of the airlock is empty and all of the vodka was pushed into the left side of the airlock.

Is this a sign that my beer is fermenting correctly so far?

Depends on the side you view from .

It means there is a pressure differential, probably caused by the start of fermentation.

I say "probably" because it really means nothing. Could just be a change in atmospheric pressure. Something caused it to push the liquid to the other side. What that "something" is will be determined soon.

Cool thanks. I'll keep an eye on it.
