I just got a new 12.2 conical fermenter, made from Toledo Spinning hopper and lid. The lid of course, has no hole in it for a blow off tube. My (probably dumb) question is, should I drill one? Some conicals seem to have them, in others, pictures seem to show the lid just being clamped down. I think I remember reading somewhere that the CO2 gas released during fermentation should be vented, otherwise this will promote off-flavours in the beer. I know that some fermentations are gentle, and some violent, and I certainly don't want the conical to blow up!
Anybody have the right answer?
