Wrong Size Air Lock Bung

[SMP Brewery]

As I’d got about 5 million tonnes of crab apples, I’ve had a go at making some.

Just come to put it in the demijohn and the bung on my air lock is too big, am I alright to put some kitchen foil over the top like I do for a yeast starter until so can pick one up tomorrow?

Edit: Meant to say wine

I don't see why not i don't think cider is likely to take off like a steam train and blow the foil off, BTW a condom or balloon with a small hole in it makes a good airlock, you could nip down the local 24/7 service station and get one tonight.

How did you deal with the chemicals inside the condom?

I have never used one as an airlock i guess turning it inside out would do the trick but if it were me i would use a balloon easier to get hold of and not as embarrassing if the meter reader turns up and you have several DJ's topped with erect condoms on the kitchen table
