Everything is... fine?

Still no activity in the Kolsch airlock today, so I popped the top to take a look. It had good krausen and smelled like beer. I took a gravity reading and it was fine - down from 1042 to 1012 already.

I guess the fermentation not only took off like a rocket, but died down really fast as well and I just missed the whole thing.

Still, I have never seen an airlock just sit there like that. Even the 5 week old Strawberry Blonde in the carboy has a bubble or two in the airlock. It makes me think the primary bucket is not sealed or something. I'll take a closer look once I rack the beer out of it.
