I live in Japan and tried making my first batch of beer with a 5-gallon Youngs Plastic Fermention Bin. It has no airlock and believe that the Japanese instruction say that air will exit through the lid rim. Is it better to get an airlock and grommet and attach one?
My first batch started fermenting and the lid puffed up from the pressure. After a day, though, the pressure went away and the lid went back to its normal shape, other than being slightly warped from the upwards expansion. The alcohol level of the beer is at just under 1%, though the fl aver seems like it would taste like beer with a little carbonation.
The weather has been hot (26-28 degreed Celsius) in my apartment and I have a feeling the yeast (Blackrock Lager) died prematurely because the liquid was too hot. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
