I wasn't sure how the airlock worked and I just stuck it on there like the pictures showed. Anyhow, I didn't figure out that I had to put water in it until 5 hours after I put it into the primary fermenter. Do you guys think I will have any contamination issues?
Also how important is the secondary container? I just want to take the easiest route possible on my first batch...from the reading I've done I can still make a good beer if I skip that step?
I'm just going to leave it in the primary until it reaches the correct gravity....I just want to verify that is ok. I spent all day doing this and meticulously sanatized everything, I really don't want to mess anything up.
