then racking to secondary and fitting with an airlock, why is this? I'm assuming maybe to let oxygen in to help the yeast during the initial part of the fermentation?
I don't want to do this because I have ants sometimes that could get in to the fermenter.
Could I airlock the primary like normal if I a) opened and stirred once a day for 10 days, or better yet b) aerate the must with oxygen directly using bottled oxygen initially, then leave it alone until secondary?
