OK - so I switched from the fastferment to a bucket/carboy method. Last night I started my Pinot Noir and inside of 3 hours I had bubbling in the airlock. This morning I wake up and check things, and no bubbling, but plenty of "fizzing" noise if you put your ear to the bucket. I jiggled the airlock a bit and it started bubbling again. - This has been happening throughout the day and has me baffled. It is a 7.9 gallon bucket made for wine and 6 gallons of must. All I can think of is that the fermentation is so intense that foam may be rising too high in the bucket and clogging the airlock, and when I move the airlock it resumes. Maybe I am worrying too much but any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
