I sure hope this question is not as dumb as it sounds to me, but I have searched quite a bit and cannot find a specific answer.
I'm not positive yet if my airlocks at home are the same but the ones I saw today at The store had small tiny holes around the edge of the little plastic lid that goes on top of the airlock. I had always assumed that the little plastic lid was for storage and helping to keep the airlock clean while storing. Because I didn't notice the little holes, I couldn't imagine you would put the lid on well actually using the airlock because it wouldn't let the gas escape.
But now that I see these tiny holes, I'm wondering, am I supposed to be using these little lives while the air locks are working?
