Hi I'm new to brewing beer. I read the FAQ but my problem isn't in there.
Basically what I did was, I bought all of my equipment in installments as I could over a few weeks. I watched 100's of videos and read through many forums like this one to get the general idea. I got Everything I thought I would need and got to work on my first batch following the instructions very closely.
Currently it's sitting in the fermenting bucket, I just finnished today and waiting for it to start. But I'm worried about one thing, My bucket's lid doesn't have a hole for an airlock. I read online that I can sit the lid loosely ontop and that will suffice to let the co2 out while keeping air away. So I didn't pay it much heed. But I now I thought I would google it further for peice of mind and I can't find anything else recommending that. Should I go out and buy an airlock? Then drill a hole in my lid?
Will I be ok with what I have done?
Thank you for your time.
