Started a gallon last night and wanted to say how great the tutorial is. Followed the instructions to the letter and fermentation is underway. Its bubbling through the airlock every four seconds.
My question now is when do I top up? There's a gap between the shoulder of the demijohn to the bung that needs filling.
I used ordinary wine yeast along with the wine nutrient and citric acid but it didn't fizz like in the tutorial.
Also, can anyone tell me if there's a difference between plastic fermenters and glass demijohns? I seem to be able to get a lot more liquid into the five litre plastic than the glass demijohn so would this make a weaker brew?
Thanks in advance for your help.
