I ferment in buckets all the time...i cover with a muslin cloth to keep bugs out, and give the yeast as much o2 as i can....

racking after it goes dry is a different story, I dont want the o2 then.

so i attach air lock, let it proceed to the clearing stage.

yeast can not live without oxygen....and in primary it needs the o2 to replicate yeast cells, then it needs little oxygen to start the second phase of ferment to make the alcohol.
