I'm finding out how little I really know. I have seen several people mention having the lid off, covering with a towel, and stirring occasionally. I thought removing the lid, exposing the must to the air, was a big no no??

You're right! I thought I was having trouble with my lid because I overfilled it. I had to wait it down! Lol

Good advice! Would you suggest removing the fruit once the activity stops?

I debated doing a secondary brew with the fruit. I have seen people doing both, and decided to try it this way the first time, and then change it up on my next brew. Thanks for your help! I've been wanting to try homemade wine for years!

Thanks for the help! I'll adjust the airlock when I take out some wine. This is actually my primary fermentation. Started it about 10 hours ago. Should I remove more for headspace considering?

Last night, I excitedly started my first melomel with blueberries and oranges. This morning I realized I've overfilled my brewing jug. Should I remove some liquid or leave it alone. I thought of setting something heavy on the lid to hold it down, but melomel rises into the airlock if I press down.
