Here's how you gauge airlock activity!

If you need help knowing if your airlocks are blooping, you need what I have- an "Airlock Activity Monitor".

You're right about that- there is no end to the energy harnessed in one toddler. It's the true perpetual motion machine!

I literally squealed when I saw the airlock bubbling on my first batch.

Priceless! Yoop, is there anything I need to do to be sure mine is properly calibrated and trained when he is old enough?

Oh, you just need to teach him the proper reverence for all fermentings, and he'll figure out the rest. You'll notice that he fell, and he knew not to reach out and touch the fermenter!

The reason I grabbed the camera was he was even funnier moments before. He literally jumped with each "bloop!". Up and down like a little pogo stick on "bloop!" It was hysterical.

He and his mom stopped over briefly tonight and he ran to check on the "bloops" in two different rooms!

Too cute.
Later kids graduate to other helpful uses. I recall childhood duties as a human television antenna. ("Towards me a bit ... now this way ... there! ... right there!. Ok now don't move. Good jobbbb!")
