Hi all,
I haqve only ever bottled my brew direct from the primary fermenter container to the bottle, I have never racked to secondary and then bottled from there. From reading a fair bit about it, secondary seems the way to go so my question is:
Does the vessel used for secondary fermentation have to have an air lock as per the primary fermenter or is it supposed to be a sealed container to hold the presure? I know this sounds a bit dumb, I am assuming it has an air lock as the carbonation I would think is done through bottle conditioning. I just have to ask to make sure, please don't flame me for this question if you think I am asking something obvious. I am just a begginer home brewer
Cheers
Wardos
