Airlock Leak??

[brooksiepgm05]

I put my ESB in fermentation about two days ago, i know not to worry since fermentation takes time to begin. When i put my head down by the airlock where the gromet is, i smell the batch, but nothing out of the airlock. I know I probably should not be worried, but just hope no bad stuff is getting into the batch...What you guys think out there?

It's fine.

You are getting positive pressure since you can smell beer.

its probably your lid seal. gas always takes the path of least resistance...so even a pin hole of a gap is more open than an inch of water in the airlock.

I wouldn't worry too much. people used to make beer with no lid at all, so a tiny leak isn't a big deal at all.
