So glad I came across this post as i'm experiencing exactly what Thunderbird descriped in the original post. Can I assume that the bungee cord thing was dismissed because it does not allow the Airstill to lift its lid a little to burp?

The other problem I have is that I have to leave home for about 10 days tomorrow. I was thinking of racking my slightly active wash off this evening and perhaps look at picking this up when I return. Will it be OK to do that and "here comes the really daft question", do I put lid back on tight or allow a little air to get to it.

It does NOT need to burp!
Put the lid on and proceed as normal
HTH.

No and nor do they need to be....

Treat wash like wine - keep all the air out. Fill bottles to the top and stopper. You can use pop bottles and squeeze the air out before tighening up.

PS get a freezer - it will change your life !

Thanks chap. Nice idea about the freezer. If only I had room but in the meantime I better go find containers before I scoot off to the ferry!
