I started this thread not to confuse it with one I started regarding the addition of sulphites.
That being said...
The importance of an airlock is understood. But to remove an airlock for testing SG, adding sulphites, or transfering, how long can this airlock be removed before any danger to the wine exists?
Will my wine be ruined if I leave it off the airlock for, 5, 10, 15 minutes?
When testing, etc., should I do "my thing", and get the airlock back on IMMEDIATELY? Or, is there a certain amount of tolerance, before it is left off to long and a danger to the wine is going to happen?
