Is open fermentation safe?

It is perfectly fine to open the lid of your fermenter to check the process or take a gravity reading provided that you take the proper precautions to sanitize all equipment used, minimize the amount of oxygen added to your wort, and re-seal the fermentation bucket fairly quickly to avoid contamination.

Should I shake my carboy during fermentation?

There's never a time during fermentation that there is no O2 in the headspace. And shaking will definitely increase the O2's migration into the wort/beer.

Should you shake wine while it's fermenting?

It's definitely ok in the initial stages of fermentation, although once a significant amount of dead yeast and trub has settled out, I would avoid it, since shaking it will stir this up and might give your wine some off flavors.

Why does fermentation tank has sealed?

The fermenter is sealed off from the air except for a long narrow vent pipe, which allows carbon dioxide to escape from the fermenter. Since there is a constant flow of CO2 through the pipe, outside air is prevented from entering the fermenter, which reduces the threat of contamination by stray yeasts.

Which airlock is best?

In general, most homebrewers use either a S-shape airlock or a 3-piece airlock. The 3-piece airlock is the most popular choice overall since it's easier to use and clean. However, you can also use other household utensils, like tin foil or plastic bags with rubber bands as an airlock.

How often should my homebrew bubble?

You will still see a stray bubble or two, but it probably shouldn't be bubbling more than once every few minutes. If it is, it's possible that you picked up an infection somewhere in your process. Smell the air coming out of the airlock: Does it smell fresh and beer-like?
