So I have a wine kit (Vintner's Reserve ) , a 6.5 gallon carboy, a 5 gallon carboy, and a 6 gallon bottling bucket without a lid. I plan on using the bucket for the primary, then move to the 6.5 carboy for the secondary and then the 5 gallon carboy for the last phase before bottling.
My question here is about the lid for the bucket. In the instructions it says to "Cover the primary fermentor" for the first phase. I have a brand new HDPE #2 plastic Home Depot bucket lid that I was going to sanitize and use to cover the first phase. Since the wine won't be coming in direct contact with the lid do you all think this would be okay?
