Was home last night for day 2 of primary, 2 gallons of must bubbling away like a freshly opened can of coke, but I'm stuck away from home from last night until tomorrow evening, will the lack of punching down for this long cause a problem? 5-gallon bucket covered with cheesecloth, and I further covered it to try to retain a little moisture in the air while leaving a large enough gap to let oxygen in/CO2 out, with the goal of trying to keep the floating must from completely drying out. If this is a huge problem I can try to run home late tonight, otherwise the ferment will be all alone for about 45 hours by the time I get home tomorrow.
thanks for any input,
Anthony
