I have brewing for awhile now... And on my 3 batch of a pilsner. I have followed all procedures to a "T" like normal. This time I used rice syrup solids and a refrigerated yeast pack instead of the powder type yeast.
Ok so after putting the airlock on the Carboy, it began to bubble about 3 hours later. Today when I woke up and checked on it. So after 1day of fermentation, I noticed a high pitch soft whistle coming from the airlock. The water inside where the bubbles are produced is a bit cloudier than water. There is also a tiny bit of condensation on the top plastic lid to the airlock.. I am guessing that there is a crack in the airlock somewhere. I know to keep it sealed but I don't know whether to risk removing the airlock and checking for a crack or to just leave it. The noise is not constant very sporadic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
