Started my first brew around a week ago and first few days were pretty active. Used a blow off tube and have now replaced with a smaller standard air lock. Was bubbling for about 15 minutes and now the pressure has almost equalised with no bubbles in the air lock. I can see the fermentation is still active because there is some activity in the brew (bubbles). What have I done wrong if anything? Thanks

Coopers European lager
 
You havent done anything wrong. Unless a FV is completely airtight (very hard) CO2 will always find a way out other than the airlock. Leave it for two weeks total. Take 3 hydrometer reading on consecutive days. If their all the same then bottle your brew
