Hey all, just wondering as i am doing my current batch in a bucket rather than a carboy.
I have a lid which i can either loosely put on, or properly close making it airtight.
The lid doesnt have a hole cut in it for a airlock, and after attempting to cut one and ending up with a useless lid, i have been forced to think again.
So yea, im just wondering if the primary fermentation has to be airtight?
oh and im making a mead/cyser, so its going to be in there for a fair old while, will this make a difference?
thanks!
