I’m making hard cider (Ed Wort Recipe) but I’m only doing 1 gallon. I am going to ferment it in the apple juice bottle. It is a big mouth lid opening and none of the airlocks I have will fit. I saw a YouTube video (PawPaw) where he barely unscrews the lids so Co2 can escape. I’m wondering if this is effective to let Co2 escape and keep buggers out, I think it will be, ok but also wondered if it would allow oxygen back in (once done fermenting)… I have about 2” of headspace.
I know a lot of people mention sanitized aluminum foil as a lid for something like this, but isn’t that the same idea as a slightly loose lid? It looks like it only needs to ferment for 4 weeks.
Thanks all!
