Fermenting Barrel- Airlock

Post by wasted » Wed Aug 29, 2007 10:11 am

I have been using a Young’s fermenting barrel and it has an airlock hole, two new barrels I have bought don’t. I brewed two different kits yesterday one is gurgling away very reassuringly the other is of course silent, should I occasionally release the lid and release the pressure? :?: :?:

Thanks
I meant buckets. I‘ve opened the lid a crack. Should I snap it down when fermentation slows down?
