Where does all that gas that is released through the airlock actually go? My s-type locks have a red cap firmly in place. How come the gasses dont build up and blow it off?

Your red cap is nowhere close to being airtight and why would they design it that way?

Jack Keller on winepress.us suggested that if you don't put your airlocks on correctly (too much water) and don't let the gas out it will be absorbed by the wine. Hence very gassy wine.

If you look inside your airlock you will see small standoffs around the perimeter to let the gas in or out.
