Hi
I have read enough to support being comfortable using a loose lid for primary rather than an airlock. Assuming I ferment out and leave the beer in primary for 2 weeks is it ok to let the beer condition in a glass carboy for 1 week with its screw cap on and not use an airlock before then bottling? I simply don't have an airlock due to being in Botswana with a hard lock down and no deliveries coming from South Africa. Is there any risk of enough of a CO2 build up in a week to blow the bottle?
Cheers
