Hi All
I have just started home brewing this week.
For my first brew i am making (or trying to make) gingerbeer. I intent to hand a few bottles out as presents at Christmas.
I am brewing in a 10L tub( http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171986662958&alt=web ) however it does not have an airtight seal i have even used vasiline and ducktape but it is still not sealing.
I am also brewing in a 5L water bottle from the supermarket with a hole in the top and a airlock and that is working fine.
My question is should i transfer my beer into another air tight brew bin or not.
I have tried using the search on this forum and others but can only find bits about secondary fermintation.
Thanks
