This is a duplicate of a thread i made in the wine how to forum, as most of us use buckets i thought it may be of interest.
I have 2 FV's one is a Richies version i bought in my local home brew shop, this has a lid that snaps shut and is airtight and the airlock always works as it should, the second is a cheap one off ebay, the lid is very floppy (for want of a better description) it doesn't snap shut and i never see bubbles coming through the airlock.
The simple fix is to put a heavy weight in the centre of the FV lid.
If you try this method let me know how you get on, if you use another method post it in the thread. :thumb:
