It has been exactly four days since I put my Chocolate stout in the fermenting bucket, and never did I see any bubbling activity in the airlock. Yesterday I pushed down around the edge of the lid and at one spot heard a little click, suggesting to me that I may have had a small air leak. Today I took off the lid and noticed a healthy looking krausen on top, and measured a SG of 1.020, down from an original SG of 1.058 (the recipe called for an O.G. of 1.056 and a F.G. of 1.012).
Question: If I had a lid leak for the first 3 days, should I expect that sealing the leak yesterday I would see a beginning of airlock activity today or going forward? Also, is there anything else I should do now other than leaving it alone?
Thanks
