Hello Everyone,
How many of you guys do open fermentation in the primary. What I mean is to leave the lid off or cracked to get as much oxygen into the must. I have read 2 things.
1) Its essential to have as much oxygen to must ratio to help metabolize the sugar.
2) It is detrimental to have open fermentation because the oxygen will make the must sour....
Thought?
