I'm planning to brew 1-gallon micro batches using a simplified process, and use only one vessel for everything (except for bottling). Based on reading many discussions it seems this is very much doable. The pot I intend to use for these micro batches doesn't have a spigot or an airlock. I plan to get a floating wireless hydrometer (such as iSpindle) to find when fermentation is over, and to let CO2 release through the (small) gap between the pot and the lid. However, the same gap may also let baddies in. Is just covering the pot with a lid sufficient to prevent contamination? Any idea how likely this is to happen and whether there's a simple solutions?
Thanks!
