I am curious if using a vessel with an airlock will change the outcome of having mold grow on top. I am thinking that using the cheesecloth on top to allow c02 to escape is also allowing too much oxygen in. I am going to start my batch this weekend and will be using a 1500ml ball canning jar with an airlock I put on top. I will report how it goes in case anything is different.
I am also wondering why in all the pictures it seems like everyone is only filling up their container about 1/3 of the way up ? This could also be leaving too much headspace. I am going to fill my batch almost all the way up to the top.
