I just wanted to say I bought my first wine making kit this past week and am now working on my first batch! its a Castel del Papa I have already had to call the winemakers toy store for some advice! Thanks for helping me! that guy is great!
Now .. for my next question... I have everything in the bucket... in the instructions that came with the kit... it said to put the airlock on the bucket lid and keep the lid loose for 24 to 48 hours then snap shut.. but later in the instructions it talks about how to fill the airlock with patassium metabisulfite solution... so I am kind of lost.. do I just leave the airlock empty? or do I put water? or the solution it it?
basicly what I need to know is do I leave the lid loose for 24 hours then fill the airlock and tighten the lid... because in the video he said I could leave the lid loose threw the whole prosses in the furmentation bucket and it said I could stur the wine every day.. to help the process? is this correct?
