OK, so I cooked up an American Amber ale three days ago(yes, it's my first batch). After 24 hours there was still no action in the air lock. So of course I had to peek inside to see what was going on. To my surprise there was a thick krauzen, nice and foamy. So I sealed it back up and let it sit. Now being three days I was expecting to see some action in the air lock by now, but NOTHING. So I figured now that the grommet for the bucket is just probably not getting a good seal. So I looked inside again and all my krauzen is gone. It definitely smells like beer, but the fermentation can't be done already can it??
