I tried a search and couldn;t find answer, some sites yell at you if you ask a question w/o searching.
Anyway I am a newbie here- I am making my first wine kit, a Cabernet/Merlot from Winexpert, a 15l kit. I started primary fermentation and am following directions. My question is, do you do the primary with a lid and airlock or cheesecloth to provide oxygen to the yeast. I have seen both ways mentioned in my research. I am currently using cheesecloth on day2 - no bubbling yet, just a little foam. Thanks
