Also I think due to ferment time I'm going to have to have two or three going at once at various stages cos I can't wait weeks for the TPW to clear :roll:
You can just stick glad wrap over a fermenter with a few pin prick holes in it ,if ever you need to use one with no lid .You will see the glad wrap bulge up under pressure .I've done my Rums like this . :handgestures-thumbupleft: Lets the gas out but keeps the vinegar fly out too.
