I'm assuming since I'm asking a stupid airlock question, I'll get a stupid airlock answer...
Maybe this is a physics thing, but I just don't fee like thinking through this...why is it that after I've affixed an airlock to a primary fermenter or (in my most recent case) a starter, the water in the airlock seems to be sucked towards the wort, i.e. the water level in the vessel attached to the tube coming out of the fermenter rises (down tube), and the water level in the vessel attached to the gas-release tube (up tube) lowers?
Talk about stupid question, how about confusing wording!?! Thanks for your help.
