Is my secondary fermenter air-tight?
What I'm planning on using for a secondary fermenter came with my kit as a bottling bucket. It is identical to the primary fermenter except it has a spigot about 1" off the bottom of the bucket in an attempt to make it easier to bottle the beers. When I bottled my last batch also my first batch, didn't use a secondary fermenter I didn't notice any beer leak out or anything. The spigot has rubber circles on the inside and outside of it, kind of like washers when talking about bolts and nuts.Basically, provided I use a good lid, would this bucket be good for a secondary fermenter?

Homebrewing and primary fermenter questions?
Primary fermenter started bubbling within a few hours after I pitched the dry wine yeast activated for 3 4 hours . It's been two days and now it bubbles tube going into a glass of bleach water solution every few seconds. I can see tiny bubbles forming all around the top of the fermenter, and there is a layer of foam floating on top. 1 Do I stir the fermenter or just let it be? Stirring will increase surface area and so forth.. but it's a bit hard because my fermenter is big and I have a tub running out of the top. 2 Is there any way to tell right now if what I have is wine yeast fermenting, or if it is vinegar bacteria, or something else? 3 When it is finished fermenting, do I decant the wine, leaving the lees? or should I take some lees along to the secondary fermenter? I read that there is active yeast at the bottom and failing to put some of this into the secondary fermenter might result in a stuck fermentation.
