Or maybe a little half-a$$ed???
I found a book at the local library on homebrewing wine and beer. It was interesting to read, keeping mind it was printed in the 70's. Anyways, although airlocks existed then, they recommended using mason jars if a homebrewer did not have access to airlocks. Simply put the lid on upside down and leave the ring somewhat loose. Inside air could excape but outside air could not get in. Seems like it would work in a pinch but with airlocks being less that $2/pc. someone would have to be hard up.
has anyone else heard of this?
