Default Newbie and Fermentation

Hi folks,

I am very new to this and 4 days ago put my Rhubarb wine in a demijohn.

Since that day it has been very alive. It is bubbling through the
airlock. Should I remove the airlock and reduce the level in the
demijohn or just leave it alone.

Thanks in advance,

Iain

If it's not coming out of the airlock you can leave it alone. The first
couple days are usually the most vigorous. As a general rule the
warmer the fermentation the more vigorous.
