I am on my 3rd kit now and the first one went great and it was in a 27l fermentation drum fitted with an air lock. It came out great.
The second one was a 6 bottle demijohn kit and it went mental over the first 2 days, I had to change the airlock 10 times and I lost loads of foam out of the top as it was so active. Its settled down but wont drop past 1010 sg.
The third was a fruit berry 30 bottle kit and its going bonkers as well with the air lock in. I read on here tonight that a cloth should be put over the bung hole after agitating the mix on a daily basis. Is this right and when do I have to put the bung and airlock in.
I guess my question is .....is it necessary to bung and airlock all wine brew kits or is a cloth over the open top all that's needed
