I currently just started my journey and very excited for the future! I have my primary fermentation going at the moment with a tight lid and a airlock- that’s what the instructions told me so that’s what i did. ( however i have seen a lot of debate on whether to not have a airlock or keep a loose lid. So I’m currently on the research of that myself)
If in theory i did go my air lock with a tight lid i wouldn’t want to open it at any point of the next 14 days correct? I’m assuming that’s the idea of keepin it all locked up in the first place? I do see people seeing after 5-7 days the primary is ready to go and they measure the stuff but would i want to open my tight air lid to check or just continue the 14 days?
Also going into my secondary fermentation I’m determined I’m going to add the same wine to fill the head space so I’ve seen is a pretty good .
