Bad Air lock in Secondary

[bacchusmj]

I racked to a secondary 3 days ago and checked the airlock and evidently it wasnt filled with enough sanitizer to create a good seal. Is the batch gonna be over-oxidized or will the CO2 blanket save my butt?

I pulled the lock and resealed it. The beer looks good though, nice yeast layer on the bottom and its still clearing nicely. Its a fairly heavily hopped pale ale so I dont expect it to clear that much.

i wouldn't sweat it. sometimes the sanitizer evaporates from my airlocks and i have to add more to float the inside piece.

BTW, welcome to HBT.

You guys and your sanitizer in the airlock.

If the beer had just recently finished fermenting, enough CO2 will come out of solution to blanket the beer again.
