Currently doing my best to make the royal bod less hospitable the the evil virus by reducing the amount of blood in my alcohol stream.:beer1: BTW..the Boss lady is fast reducing the store of the July-19 WOW pineapple and apple wine. Oh well...off to the kitchen to rack the Boss Ladies latest...
Sorry to disagree;)....Well..It can work...but I am safety consciousasad.-and NEVER want to waste the fruits of my effort. Therefore I would never recommend using a screw top container without an air lock:thumba: [ Just too easy to screw it up just too much..]
Its been said that filling the top...
EXPERIMENT by golly !!!??? I use them all the time now. They are dirt cheap....they are light...clean up OK...dont break when dropped..store and stack well...and as my hands are not as strong as they once were a real bonus. I get the rubber bungs to suit and drill out the screw caps to fit...
Never needed before..but the enclosed below may be of assistance.

Just finished 2 gallons of red grape juice at 10% abv-finished at 0.998. Now in a 10 ltr plastic dispensing [bag in box ] Its about 8 weeks old and is starting to have quite a nice flavour. Think it will need a few more months yet. I have 5 ltrs of Waitrose merlot grape juice in the fridge -...
Well...2 x 1.5ltr apple juice , 1.5 ltr grape juice and 1.5 ltr pineapple juice. Fermented out to about 8% [ its for the Boss ] and that what she likes. After 8 weeks still a little thin - so a little sweetening and it tastes just fine with better body. I will have to make some more.
