Yesterday I brewed a beer and as per usual I transferred the finished wort into my fermenter, which started leaking. If I wanted any beer from that batch I couldn't keep it in there, but the only food safe vessel I had was a rubber maid type cooler once used as a mash tun.
The wort is sitting in there, slowly being turned into beer by the yeast. It's all good for now, but there is no way for the CO2 to escape. My plan is to open the lid slightly once a day for the next couple of weeks, but was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to let the gas escape from the cooler without having to lift the lid? I can't drill into the top of it.
Thanks
