Leaky fermenting bucket?

[abrewhal]

I brewed a hefe 2 days ago and is currently fermenting in a bucket.
I noticed there is no gas coming out of the blow off tube and realized the lid is not air tight and not fully sealed on the bucket.
I heard hefeweizen can be open fermented and some people do it for up to 3 days
I don't want to risk oxidation

Should I transfer my hefeweizen to a carboy where it will be air tight for the rest of the fermentation (~2 weeks) or leave it in the bucket because there is such a thing as "Carbon Dioxide Blanket"?

there is such a thing as "Carbon Dioxide Blanket"?

Only in brewing mythology.
I would be inclined to leave things be...

Cheers!

And certainly not if the FV isn't airtight.

But not for too long. Package as soon as you're sure it's finished.

I know I’m late for this reply, but I’ve had good luck sealing those “air tight” gamma lids w electrical tape. Might work for your bucket.

Ended up sealing them with saran wrap, worked out well, thanks for your suggestions
