Because I'm paranoid. Trying to keep as little exposure to oxygen as possible.

I was wondering if anyone knew the dimensions of the True Brew 6.5 gal bottling bucket lid. I would like to get something that gives me as close to an airtight fit as possible. I would hit up my LHBS, but it is an hour and a half away, and Home Depot and Lowest are just down the road.

Cool, so as long as I have a healthy krausen going and no funky smells I'm ok?

LOL! I'll try not to take a dump near it. I am feeling reassured, though! thanks for the support.
