I just brewed my second batch today and used a fermenting bucket I picked up from my LHBS. When I pitched my yeast and placed the lid on I gave the bucket a shake to aerate the wort.
I noticed that some wort came out of the rim around the bucket, meaning that there's not a very tight seal.
I was under the impression that when fermenting you need a airtight seal to prevent oxygen from getting in.
Is this bucket going to give me problems, or is this normal?
Cheers!
