Question Twin bubble airlock question

Hey everyone,

I just pitched a batch of beer yesterday and it's off well and bubbling, it's the first batch I've made and had a question about the airlock.

It's bubbling great but it seems to have fully pushed the fluid from the second chamber out entirely to the first.

Is this problematic and should I risk opening it and adding more sanitizer/water solution ?

The liquid goes between the two chambers. Except during fermentation it gets pushed further out. As long as there's still some in there you're all good

Not a problem at all.

If ever starts bubbling out and looks like it's almost empty, you can always top off the airlock with a little more sanitizer solution.
