For future brews, it's a good idea to rig up a blowoff tube for the first 3-5 days of fermentation. After that, it's safe to switch back to an airlock. Otherwise, you risk blowing the lid off your bucket and spraying precious homebrew all over the walls!  |

as long as you got a tight fit. but you might want to get something a lil bigger than a cup so that it doesnt tip over
