I know the lid stays on, I'm referring to the little plastic lid ion the airlock. Does that little lid stay on the airlock?
You dont need a lid on primary. Lots of us simply cover it with a towel. Yeast need air in the first few days.
Starts my first batch of wine today. Attached is picture of my primary fermenter. My question is do I keep the lid on the airlock?

Kits have bentonite added prior to the yeast. The must should be stirred vigorously before pitching the yeast. This does three things...I dont make kits, and I question some of there directions.
I would take the lid completely off of the bucket, makes no sense to restrict the fermentation.
Yeast needs lots of oxygen in primary...
