I was making a 7 gal batch of foreign extra stout and ended up with 8 gal of wort. I scrounged around and found a large wine bottle with a screw cap. I drilled a hole to insert a airlock and used plumbers tape to get a better seal. I am still very early in fermentation but all vessels except the rigged one are bubbling fine. I see no bubbles in the air lock but signs of fermentation in the bottle. I am obviously not sealed. My question is if when I take a gravity reading and it has in fact had a active ferment am I safe to think that the fermentation has kept any nasty`s out?
