What temp should I crash at I ferment in a fridge so I can just turn the controller down

Every time I use a 6.5 gallon bucket to ferment the airlock creates a vacuum so if I have to pull it off it sucks the sanitizer into the fermenter. Has anyone had this problem and if so how can I avoid it?

uv light would be your biggest enemy and it also depends on how close to the light it was. it is pretty safe to say that it is fine and next time for good measure wrap a light sheet or towel around it

no doubt
