Yes BrewDemon and Mr. Beer kits are pretty darn easy but sometime you need a little help from the Borg to get you on the right track. Post your questions here!
If so, you don't need to give anything a shake to keep it working.
Its job is to keep the outside air out of the fermenter. It does that whether there are any bubbles pr not. When you're shaking the fermenter to make bubbles conve ot, all you're doing is getting co2 ot of suspension sooner than it would on its own. It's really not necessary.
Having said that, I totally understand wanting to see some visible indication that something is happening.
When I brew, I just ignore it until it's time to keg (or bottle before I had a kegging system).
