So yesterday the airlock started bubbling. Everything was going smooth, the starsan/water mix I had in the airlock was kind of foaming out the top.
This morning I wake and the airlock has amber color liquid in it. I assume it's the brew. Outside the top and around the neck of the carboy there is some dried amber colored substance (looke like foam)
The airlock fluid level dropped about 1/8 -1/4 inch below the line
My question is should I go get a new airlock, sanatize and replace this dirty one with a new one? Should I just pull the one I have, clean sanatize and put it back on? Or should I just leave it alone and stop being paranoid.
Inside the carboy everything is whirling around and it still bubbles, not like yesterday but here and there so things still appear to be working. Or at least I hope they are.
Lastly. Does this site have an app like tapatalk or anything where I can upload pics from my phone? Took a couple pics but can't post them and the computers on the fritz
Thanks in advance
