I generally leave the secondary low.  It makes it easier to degas...


Once i've degas'd, sorbat'd, and k-meta'd.  Then I top up and let it age/clear.  Until you degas, there is so much co2 in there the little bit of oxygen on top is going to be pushed out without infecting your wine.


I use a lid and snap it on and then toss and empty airlock in the hole, I'll unsnap the lid every couple days, stir and punch down the cap.


I use a lid because i have pets/kids.  A towel should be fine, but the lid will keep it safer from "outside elements"
