I just smacked my pack and it broke the seal in the corner. I was planing to brew tomarrow. Can I just put it into a bottle with some tin foil over the top?

i am no professional, but i would say just put it back in the fridge until tomorrow... take it out a couple hours before you pitch...

I'd make a starter as fast as you can and get an airlock on it. You can use foil over the top of a container instead of an airlock, preferably with a small opening, as long as you sanitize it first and fit it loosely over the top. Too tight and it will pop.

I wouldn't risk something getting into my yeast by leaving it open in the fridge OR getting it knocked over and spilled.

Sanitize your starter container and put it in there. Oh, and use a smaller hammer to smack it with next time.

I was able to pinch the leaking corner and it holding pressure. Is it ok to leave it like this?

I suspect it will eventually leak with disastrous results. You should make the starter like Spyk'd suggested or do what I suggested.

OK.. I just cleaned a sanitized a beer bottle and put a piece of tin foil over it. Should I put it in the refrigerator?

Not if you're brewing tomorrow. Let it multiply.
