I don't always put an airlock on my mead for the first 2-3 days. Often what I'll do is just place the top of the bucket on (with no hole drilled in it) but not snap it on, so its loosely on. I take it off often enough to stir that its a pain to pry on and off all the time anyway.
Day 4 it usually goes snapped on.
**Buckwheat has a smell and a taste. Taste it and you'll know, especially if you have some "standard" honey in the house to compare. I bought this "organic, raw natural" stuff from the store for a few years for tea additive. Then recently again. Wow was it like a barn. I looked at the label to see where it was sourced from, or any kind of information - nothing. IT's just a jar with "Raw natural honey" printed on it. No company name, no contact info, nothing... Kind of weird, but apparently they just put in whatever they can get!
