An air lock is a piece of wine making equipment that keeps air from entering your fermentation container while letting the carbon dioxide that yeast produces to escape. Some people also refer to this device as a fermentation lock. It will keep any harmful bacteria from infecting your wine and ruining your batch.
You can make your own air lock at home. It is similar to a water bong in nature and is really cheap to make if you have the right materials lying around the house or shop.
I am planning on making a tutorial at winemaking-equipment.com if you are interested
