I am brewing 18 litres of cider in a 23 litre container, it has a 4 inch screw top with a hole in the top for bung. I was worried becuase nothing was happening in my air trap even a few days after i set it going. However, when i put my ear to the tank, i can hear the fizzing. I had a sniff around the 4 inch cap, and i can smell the smell of fermentation, so its working, but i think i have a leak in my cap.
This is the question (sorry it took so long) - Is it worth me taking off the cap and putting a plate or soemthing flat over the hole while i have a look at the cap and try and fix it or rescrew it back on.
Thanks alot, all help appreciated, this is my first brew.
