Hello every one,
Just a quick question, last time i made a melomel it was pretty messy and krausen and gunk got everywhere, now im just about to make a berry mel.
Basicly cut to the chase, the guy at the LHBS has said i can just use a fermenting bucket and clip the lid down with no airlock to ferment it and when the lid expands just push it back down. Then when its done obviously rack into secondary.
This sounds crazy to me as im thinking the bucket will explode or not be airtight enough.
Or use a blow off tube,
Or should i simply just add my berry combination into secondary?!!
Thanks alot every one.
