What is this?

Hi!

Normally I use a Coopers fermenting bucket, but bought myself a beer fridge to ferment my beer in and got this fermenting bucket included. But it got two holes on it. One is obviously for the airlock.

But what's the other hole for??

Cheers

It could be for a thermowell so you can monitor the temp of the brew. That's my best guess.

+1 on thermowell. It looks like a cord grip for a wire but it could be used to hold a probe of some type.

So if I don't wanna use it should I cover it with something?

That the stereophonic low distortion airlock port. If you're not hearing your yesties fermenting in stereo then you may as well be drinking Tui.

Haha, will definitely not drink drink Tui! Since I moved over to NZ from Sweden a couple of years ago I struggled to find a nice beer here, man European beers are way better. That's why I got into home brew.

Just like a girlfriend pick one and go at it. Occasionally use the other bahaaaa....

I definitely think it's for a thermowell or other thermometer. You could cover it with sanitized foil, then some tape to hold it in place.
