Is my wine bad?

[joel93]

Hi! Just started my first batch of 7 day wine tuesday. A problem occured when the company that i bought the starter kit had missed a rubber part for the lid. Alot of air has come in to the wine but it is fine now since i got the rubber part. I have a picture of how it looks and wonder if it's fine or if it got bad?

Looks like it's still fermenting so yeah it should be fine

One of the byproducts of fermentation is CO2 gas. This protects your wine during this phase, so you should be just fine.

Welcome to the forum!

Am I missing something? I think it is a good thing that you didn't have the lid sealed. You don't want to lock down before the fermentation is complete.

Leave the lid off, throw a towel over it, stir twice a day, check it with a hydrometer daily. When it's close to 1.000, rack to your secondary carboy.
