Campden tablets

[Beer niner]

I just recently started a 5-gallon batch of apple juice to make hard cider and put in 5 campden tablets to kill any wild yeast. I put the lid on and sealed it and put an airlock in. should I have put on a loose towel instead? is this enough to let the gas Escape for 24 hours?

You're fine. I usually wait 24 hrs before pitching yeast, but with cider I use an airlock from the beginning.

Ok, thanks for quick response. Do you reccomend yeast nutrient?

Yes. For cider I use 1 gm of DAP per gallon.
