I'm actually literally brewing as we speak. I had a few questions. I have the 6.5 gallon plastic fermenter from Northern Brewer and they have directions for a blow-off hose for better bottles and carboys but not for the plastic buckets. I was just wondering if it's not necessary or if there's a way to rig one up.
I also was wondering if keeping the lid of the fermenter on but not sealed would be okay(to prevent the lid blowing off, I've heard of it happening). I'm doing a 5%ABV-ish Amber Ale so it's not too high gravity.
Thanks.
