If I'm adding peach extract? I've read that some people say no because the airlock will push out aromas and flavors? But I don't want to mess up! Any insight would be appreciated!
 
Yes,def use an airlock,since the fructose in the peaches will start a 2nd fermentation. That in turn will produce more co2,which needs to be vented. Unless you enjoy cleaning up **** splatters from the walls & ceiling.

Thank you for the quick reply! I was about to use a solid top! I'm racking right now so I got nervous lol
