hey everyone, im back again with my third attept at making wine. this time ill be making a nice banana desert wine . this time i went out and actualy bought some equipment, not proper equipment mind you, but stuff that can easily be jimmy rigged to work well enough (eg, instead of a coke bottle, this time im using a 5 gallon snap on tupperware container as my primary fermenter, instead of baking yeast i actualy went out and bought brewers yeast, instead of straws i actualy bought some food grade hoseing). all my plans are well set and i will be starting tonight. however i still have one big problem... the air lock.
i have a good design for the air lock- that being a peice of tubeing leading from secondary fermenter into a container full of some solution. however i dont know of any kind of solution i can use in the container- water failed last time, and my wine was spoiled. i though about vinegar or lemon juice, but decided against both. im now thinking about perhaps soapy water, but im not too sure about this.
suggestions?
