Newbie making wine

Post by aftermath » Sun Apr 29, 2012 3:02 pm

Hi Guys

i have just started 3 wine kits ( 30 bottle ones ) white, red , blush and they are 30 day kits.

2 of these i am fermenting in solid plastic fermenting bins , and the bubbling in the airlock is about every second or less.

the other kit is fermenting in a basic balliihoo fermenting bin with a thermometer built on the side, the airlock doesnt seem to be bubbling but the lid on the bin is rounded as if the bucket is full of air.

will this still be fermenting ?
the temperature is stable 22 degrees
the balliihoo bin is this one http://www.balliihoo.co.uk/balliihoo-5- ... r-p-7.html
the other 2 that are bubbling away are like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-gallon-25-l ... 231cc34f7d

pardon me if you dont understand what i am trying to explain

As long as the lid is rounded it's fermenting, just follow the instructions for your kit and you will be fine, not all fermenters seal properly to give airlock activity.
