[Delmonteman]

Has it finished fermenting do you know?

[beddyx]

there has been no bubbles in the airlock since 2 days,what next

[Delmonteman]

Best to be sure it has finished by testing with a hyrdrometer and seeing if three consecutive daily readings are the same.

Then, if it was me, I'd rack to another vessel to degas, fine, stabilise (depending on what sachets you have been provided with the kit), allow to clear and then bottle.

I wouldn't ever leave a solid bung in a glass demijohn. I would however use a safety cork. You can buy them from most HBS. You can also leave the airlock in place I think I would do this for a couple of months anyway just to make sure all activity has ceased. Ensure you top up the airlock from time to time with clean sulphite solution.
