I picked up a straining bag to contain the skins on my latest kit. It was the elastic-top style to wrap around the top of the fermentation bucket.
While the LHBS recommended that I wrap around the top of the bucket and clip down the lid: I'm noticing, via capillary action, that I'm getting wine on the outside of the bucket travelling via the bag.
Is this normal?
Or am I daft and should have tied off the bag once I put in the skins and allow the bag to float on its own (so as no longer wrapped around the perimeter of the bucket)
