It's my first time using an S Type Airlock. I'm aging some mead. I am using 1 Gallon glass carboys and a size 6 stopper (which went in almost all the way.)
My question is, what should the level of sanitizer look like inside the airlock? I'm not used to them. I'm assuming that the pressure will draw most of the sanitizer into one of the little tanks.
Photo 1 is an airlock that I think is right. The level of the liquid is in between the tanks. Photo 2 I'm not sure about. Am I losing pressure? Is it still airtight if the liquid is in both tanks? The bung is pushed in pretty much all the way.
Thanks in advance.
