I'm looking to getting a pipeline going on the cheap. Fermenting in 6.5 gal buckets atm and thinking about racking to 5 gal food safe buckets as a secondary. I know a lot of people boast about the benefits of a long primary but seeing as I can snag these 5 gal buckets for 5 bucks a pop new, I like the idea of doing a secondary and freeing up my fermenter.
My question is: since fermentation should be finished, I should be able to get away with just sealing it up with the bucket lid, no airlock or blowoff tube (assuming that i wont be adding any fruits and/or fermentables) right?
