I started a batch of JAOM on the 11th of January this year and the airlock has slowed down a lot now and is about 1 bubble every 2 hours or so.
The other day i checked it and most of the fruit had dropped down to the bottom but when i checked it this morning the fruit had gone back up to the top. Does anyone know why this happened or what is causing it. Is it normal?

p.s sorry if this is a basic question or im just being a pest

Not unusual, probably just still degassing. Also a low pressure front (weather that is) could bring some CO2 out of solution and bring some fruit up.
