Best Answer

Yes. At least an airlock of some sort. Otherwise, certain bacteria called acetobacter (which are basically everywhere) can infect the cider and break the alcohol down into vinegar. So keeping the flow of gas from the fermentation vessel "one-way" is very important. That said, you don't have to be fancy. Plastic airlocks and sized stoppers are only a couple of dollars at most. Some old timers will simply stretch a pin-pricked balloon over the mouth of the jug or carboy.
