I have a 7.9 gallon fermenting bucket that came with my beginners kit. The lid fits ok but it does not seal, just lies on top of the bucket. (Im not very strong but I think a lot of people would have trouble.) I am not willing to use a mallet and pry bar. What do I need to do to use this bucket? Do I have to seal it with plastic bags and duck tape? Or can I just do something to keep the lid from blowing off? Maybe use a Velcro-type strap or heavy books to keep the lid on? I know a lot of people have this bucket any suggestions?
I bought my kit at LHBS, but this is the same as mine. I read in the lid reviews that many of the lids cracked after only one use. I can see how that could happen.
