I brew these Festa Brew all the time and I do it exactly as per the instructions (I assume you got this from Noble Grape in Nova Scotia.. If not check out there instructions on their site).. I always put the lid on loosely without an airlock and transfer within 5 days.. Every beer has turned out...

ok thanks guys.. I htinkg I will get the drill thingy for my next batch but I will wait this one out and see how it goes.

Yip Yip.. go ahead.. I do it all the time Well I dont use &up but I use the clear bottles.. same thing.. Just keep it out of the light to prevent skunkyness.. Also (if its a 2L) you will want to drink it pretty quick when you open it to prevent it from getting flat.. Cheers!!!!!!

Degassing my first island mist kit and see a hair floating in the carboy... Boooooooooooo.. Im definetly not going to dump it but... sure failure?? :(

That is the way I do my primary for beer

Is this just the way you do it for wine Yooper or do you not use a lid on beer too?..
