Chillax, it'll be ok until the weekend .... or the one after :thumb:

What do you mean, “will it be ok in a secondary”, what's it in now?

its in a youngs barrel type fermentor at the moment the one with the large screw on lid thats the one i used for fermenting

if i transfer to a bucket with a lid on will the air in there not affect the wine or will co2 form on top as it goes flat its just that i read that air is bad for wine

What volume are you making and have you got any DJs or water bottles?

It should absolutely not go back into a bucket.

everything is in use apart from the bottling bucket so i guess ill have to get some bottles together quickly
