New to brewing stupid question...

Hi, I'm new to home brewing! Had a question about the fermenting process. I brought a brewers best starter kit and my lid for my fermenter is not tight at all! I've tried everything but every time I push down the other side comes up am I doing something wrong? and will the beer that's in there now be ok?

First off, no stupid questions. Secondly, some buckets just come that way. Worst case just means you will likely not see any bubbles in your airlock. The gas will instead escape out of the lid. Other than that, try to keep it clean as possible around and you should have no issues.

Thank you! its locked in a closet cuz I would keep checking it if it were in my sight so def clean! Tiny bubbles in the air lock but that's it figured that was the reason tho.
