you just cracked rookie mistake number one of many that i knew nothing of at the time these photos are from last year this time i have large containers with bungs andand the air release system i forget what its called

Airlock is the name for the apparatus. Anyway yes it went bad and the mix formed mould within and it goes without saying i didn't drink any of this

A balloon can be a good cheap way to keep a lid on and let out the gas if you use a jug instead. I'm still not sure if these are chilis or tomatoes im looking at? I cant really imagine drinking either one but I would be interested to hear about it if you can get it to work right. Try unpasturized apple juice, you can mike a really nice cider with that.

I thought about cider before i will try at some point. In thess jars are blueberries and raspberries
