first of all, if something goes wrong, you'll be the first to notice

don't seal a jug airtight while it's fermenting. even if you think it's finished it can still 'explode' if closed.
you'll learn while trying

good point,

i guess I should have qualififed my question first,

I am an avid wine maker, and used to make a lot of beer now I basically stick about 300-400 litres of wine every year, from grapes not juice...

So I understand a little regading fermentation of alcohol but not regarding turbos...
