PCed my first jars. have questions

I PC my first popcorn jars today. They are 3 pint jars that I soaked the popcorn for 24 hours, simmered the kernels for 20 mins on stove, drained, and then put em in the jars 3/4 of the way up on 2 and the rest i had left I filled the other one some. I PCed them for 120 minutes since my PC is only 11.6 PSI.
Should the kernels be cracked? they look very orange and fat with water now.
Also, when i til the jar sideways a little water pools in the side of the jar. Is this too much water, should i pour the excess out?
Finally, the third jar that only has 1/3 of the way full with kernals, Will I have a problem because the jar isn't 3/4 of the way full?
Thanx, kF

After simmering you should leave them to drain for have an hour, if they still seem to wet sit the popcorn on a towel and pat dry.

ok cool.
i nocced em up last night anyway with the rest of a Nepal syringe I got in a trade.
I got 8 lbs of WBS for 2 dollars from Big Lots. I am gonna make some jars with that tonight.
Well I don't know if I exactly did it right last night, I guess i will see if the Nepal colonizes without any contams.
How much water should i be putting in the PC? I put like 2 inches of water in it. Is this enough to PC for an hour?
The point is to turn the stove on until the steam makes the thing pop out the top of the pressure cooker and then do you keep the stove on or do you turn it off and just let it steam?

well the 2 inches of water was only enough to last 45 minutes, good thing I was watching it i turned the heat off right when the red pressure thing in the handle dropped. Sorry if this sounds wierd I just got the PC and don't know exactly what all the parts are called and how they all work. i wonder if wikipedia has a accurate description.
anyway I did 3 half pint WBS jars for 45 minutes in the PC. I boiled the WBS 30 minutes before I drained and put it in the jars.
