g' day wine making forum, i have an urgent question about mead.
i have just (with in about 30 min) made my mead must and added the yeast. because i am only a poor college student, looking to pursue a hobbie, i dont have the proper equipment, so for a primary fermentor i am using a glass 237ml bottle (yes, this is a very small operation- more of an exparament) with a ziplock bag elasticed to the top (so it can expand without shattering the glass). its crude, i know, but i hope it works.
here is my question- my yeast started working almost instantly (if you dont beleive me, im enclosing a picture) and i walked away from it for 30min, when i cam back, i discovered that the quickly forming cap on my must expanded out of the bottle into the plastic bag. tomorrow, when i break the cap, should i squeez the stuff in the bag back into the bottle, or should i throw it away.
thank you for your time and effort (and please dont be to hard on me, like i said, im only a poor college student trying to pursue a hobbie)
