I am making wine at home. I have a balloon attached to the top of the jug with 4 small hole in it…?

to allow the gas caused by fermentation to be released. However the yeast bubbled up and filled the balloon… some of the foam leaked out of the balloon. Has this ever happened to anyone else, will the wine be okay???
Sounds like you just over filled your container. The nice thing about yeast is it will keep working. Just let the wine keep fermenting and it will tell you when it’s done.

I made "balloon" wine when I was underage. It had to be siphoned above the bottom of the jug and decanted when it was done. I used a plastic tube and a contained of water to release the gas. BTW, this swill tasted horrible, but it got the job done.
