should i barrel turbo cider ?

[helluvatractor]

Hi all, I have recently bought a basic bottom tap pressure barrel off eBay for peanuts.

I was thinking of making up a 5 gallon batch of turbo cider ,sticking it in the barrel and literally forgetting about it for 6 months or more . Hoping for malolactic fermentation to occur and mellow it right down

However, I don't think the barrel has an s30 fitting and I don't really want to get a new lid with one.

So if I prime the cider, then just leave it alone, will it be ok ?
I don't mind if its flat. Just worried it may go bad if I have no way off adding co2 other than priming ?

Thanks.
