Beginner brewer with question about closed fermentation in a 5 gallon carboy. Once the wort is transfered into the carboy and I place the hose in the opening, how can I be sure that no air gets into the wort through the tube...
I'm confused about this because my book says that after the initial activity subsides I should replace the hose with a fermentaion lock, which allows gases to escape, but no air to come in (which makes me think that air is BAD). So how would I stop air coming in during the initial fermentation and blow off?
Maybe a stupid question, but I'm new. Thanks
