@martiwf0 When …
@martiwf0 When fermenting wine, you will ALWAYS need an air lock or at lease some sort of covering. Yeast uses the sugars in the fruit and other vitimins and produces lots of CO2 and Ethanol which is the alcohol. The CO2 needs a way to be relaeased, otherwise, well. Bang. The air trap is needed to keep bacteria and fruit or wine flies away. Otherwise you will just achieve vinigar.

They say to keep the oxygen off after the 7th day of fermentation. During the first 7 days the yeast needs a lot of oxygen to digest the sugar, they say. This is the first time I’ve seen air locks used during the height of fermentation. I guess it works for mikestoner.

Doesn’t oxygen make it turn into acetic acid?

The right way to ferment is so confusing. Almost all the how-to videos say that you do not use an air lock during fermentation because the yeast needs the oxygen. This video says the opposite. Which way is right?

Great video! I can use all the help I can get.
Would someone address the subject of using an airlock on the primary fermenter, opposed to not using one.
I did not use one on my first two batches of wine from kits that I purchased…The instructions that came with the kits did not suggest doing so.
After racking to secondary fermenter…there was never any activity, such as air bubbling in the airlock.
I don’t understand why this happened to both batches of red wine. Any suggestions?

Hi:
If you can …
Hi:
If you can smell it, then the fermentation is going a bit too fast. Those smells are the aroma and flavour of your wine being driven off by the rapidly escapng gases of femrentation. Slow the fermentation down…lose less of the volatile flavour components….lower the temperature to do this….but watch for the lower limit of your yeast
