To create an empty primary bucket, I need to rack the beer currently in the container to a 5 gallon glass carboy.

The problem is, I do not have a carboy bung for the glass carboy. Since the beer going into the glass carboy is being racked after 2 weeks in the primary.

Can I just create a seal with saran wrap and packing tape? I could get to my homebrew store tomorrow to replace it with a proper bung.

Just want to see if there are any MacGyver type solutions out there or, if I should just tape it up and get to my LHBS tomorrow.

Thanks,
J

Saran wrap and a rubber band is plenty.

Or tinfoil and a rubber band work as well, just be sure to sanitize the foil or saran wrap before you place it on the carboy.

Sanitize a balloon if you have any around. When/If it starts to swell poke a pin hole or two in to it.

A latex glove and rubber band work, too. If the glove inflates, you can high-five your beer.

The answer is a DEFINITE NO!!!

NEVER seal off the fermenter. Any pressure that cannot make it out has the potential for blowing out the sides of the carboy.

Use a balloon, but make sure there's a hole in is to the gasses can escape.

And yes, if you end up using a lubed condom you can tape that in place...just don't forget to bite a hole in it...
