Hole in cap

[karli]

Hi
I was making EZCaps hard cider for the first time. Bottle was 90% filled or even less. 6 tsp of tablespoons of sugar, apple juice and the yeast.

And after 2 days of fermentation, when I came home I saw that there was a small hole in the middle of cap (in the bigger hole).

So I stopped fermentation, put it in snow for about 12 hours and tried it out, not really sweet.

Why it happened? How to avoid this happening? I'm about to make some red wine and I don't want this to happen again.

Please help fast

Question #12a: My EZ Capped beverage is fermenting, and it looks like the EZ Cap is bulging and there is a slit in the middle of the EZ Cap. Is this normal?

Answer: Yes. The bulge is proof that the EZ Cap is maintaining the proper amount of pressure. When carbon dioxide needs to be released, it will exit through the slit.

Answer: The "crack" is an important feature, not a problem. Please see answer #12a above.
