Is there ever a time when making hard cider naturally ex. with out yeast that you would not use an airlock/vapor lock??
Airlocks cost a few bucks and keep out oxygen, dust, and other junk. The actual need for an airlock can be debated, especially with beers undergoing a vigorous fermentation (as the CO2 being produced will rest on the beer protecting it from oxygenation) but honestly I can't fathom purposely not using an airlock as it removes a lot of potential for stuff falling into your cider.
What i was asking is i dont have any tubing and dont live near any kind of home brew store really and was curious what was possible to do with out the typical cork top vapor lock?
Last time I bought an airlock, it was $1.00. That's cheap insurance against infection.
use a balloon or UNLUBED condom and poke a hole in the top with a pin
