Hey everyone. I made my first batch of mead today! There were only a few hiccups and everything went better expected. I do have a concern or two though.
I'm using a 6.5 gal plastic fermentation bucket. I filled my airlock up so that both compartments were just under the MAX line with light vodka. After plugging it into the hole, all of the vodka moved into the second chamber(the one closest to the bucket). Now it's just kind of sitting there.
I made the mead about 4 hours ago and haven't heard or seen any bubbling happen yet, which I'm not SO worried about since it sounds like it takes about a day to really get going. Will the pressure from the gas coming out equalize the two chambers or is there something I should do?
