What can I use instead of an airlock?

A sanitary piece of aluminum foil crimped over the top or even a plastic baggy with a rubber band on the outside (either use a new roll/box or pour some of your favorite high proof liquor on it just to be sure) should do the trick.

Can you ferment without an airlock?

No, you do not have to use an airlock. You can successfully ferment many a batch of sauerkraut without one. To reduce air exposure, select a way to hold your ferment below the brine and put a lid on it. To allow CO2 gases to escape, you can use an airlock, or…

Can I use a balloon instead of an airlock?

Balloons are fine, though. You could defenetly get creative and have this type of solution. My first homebrew experience was making mead in a plastic water container with a balloon for an airlock.

Does fermentation need to be airtight?

Does fermentation need to be airtight? No! In fact, primary fermentation should never be airtight because you run the risk of blowing the top off of your fermenter or breaking it completely. As carbon dioxide is created during the fermentation process, an incredible amount of pressure can build up over time.

How do you make a homemade airlock?

Using a balloon with a rubber band can function nicely as a homemade airlock. Similar to the aluminum foil example, you place the balloon over your carboy and place rubber bands around it to make it as airtight as possible. You then poke a few tiny holes in it, to allow the CO2 to escape.

How often should my airlock bubble?

You will still see a stray bubble or two, but it probably shouldn’t be bubbling more than once every few minutes. If it is, it’s possible that you picked up an infection somewhere in your process. Smell the air coming out of the airlock: Does it smell fresh and beer-like?

What do I do if my airlock isn’t bubbling?

If the airlock is not bubbling, it may be due to a poor seal between the lid and the bucket or leaks around the grommet. Fermentation may be taking place but the CO2 is not coming out through the airlock. This can also be caused by adding too much water to the airlock.

Do you put water in an airlock?

Some airlocks require water and others don’t. Both styles require water. The water forms a barrier between you and your wine. Because of the shape of the airlock the carbon dioxide being released by the yeast is forced to go through the airlock, through the water, and then exit the airlock.

Why has my homebrew stopped bubbling?

If the airlock is not bubbling, it may be due to a poor seal between the lid and the bucket. Fermentation may be taking place but the CO2 is not coming out through the airlock. Fix the seal or get a new lid next time. Cause 2: Bad Yeast When a batch is not fermenting , the most common problem is with the yeast.

How do you fix a stalled fermentation?

Here are a few ways to revive a stuck fermentation.

Make sure fermentation really has stalled. In case you don’t have enough good reasons to always measure the original gravity (OG) of your wort, here’s another.

Can you put too much yeast in mash?

There’s too much sugar for the yeast strain you’re using. So it’s easy to assume that more sugar = more alcohol. However, too much sugar in your mash can actually hinder your yeast’s ability to make alcohol, and most people want to get as high an alcohol content as possible when making moonshine.

Allow it to ferment for 4-5 days. If you use bread yeast, it may take up to 1 week for the mash to ferment.

How do you know when mash is done fermenting?

The only true way to know if fermentation is finished is to take a gravity reading. A good rule of thumb is if the gravity of the wash has not changed over the course of 3 days then the mash is done fermenting.
