Hi guys
Am still in the noob stages of home brew though managed to make a Coopers cereza and bottle it without to many issues. Getting carried away I have now got a Bulldog Four Finger and also Bulldog Cider on the go! I bought a new fermenter from my local homebrew shop so I could do 2 brews at the same time, it's a hambelton bard and to be honest was more expensive than purchasing online but trying to support local i bought it.
Now more fool me I should have preasure tested it, I did clean then sanitise. Put the Coopers cider kit in it and then the air lock through the lid. Now that was Sunday I can see that fermentation has begun but the air lock is doing nothing. Removing the airlock and the bung I can see the hole has been poorly drilled out and is oval shaped. I can see that there is a small lip of plastic stopping the bung from sitting flat.
I have tried to contact the shop today but they must close early, I see that Tesco has an offer on Fermenters and I have placed an order, can I pour the Coopers cider into the new Fermenter or should I get the lid replaced from local shop.
