Hi there,
This is my first time doing this, making wine and posting on this forum.
Two days ago I went to buy some wine juice - just to drink it like that, sweet, but they were only selling it by the bucket-23L, so I ended up with a bucket, lid with a little hole with rubber around it for air, and 15L of Merlot juice. Also got a little package of LALVIN wine yeast. I was suggested that after I'm done drinking the juice, I should sprinkle the yeast on top of the juice. Now, my question is: should I put the lid back on or not? I don't want the bucket to explode, and I'm wondering if that little hole from the lid will be enough for the air to come out during fermentation.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
