lost airlock quick fix?

[i4ourgot]

So i couldn't find my airlock today after I had out my beer in secondary. Is a sandwich bag and an elastic band a good fix, at least for a few days until i can get to the beer store?

Aluminum foil would work

so no sand which bag it's puffed out like a balloon right now, but the foil would be better?

I think it would be. It'll keep stuff out and allows gasses to vent. I use it for my starters. But if the bag isn't going to pop, stick with it.

A balloon or condum without the extra stuff. As long as it is blowing co2 u shoud be fine. Once the co2 stops u risk oxygen infitration

Poke a pinhole in the bag to let the excess gas out. It'll work fine.

I have a piece of Saran wrap taped over a hole in the lid of my bucket. The main purpose of the airlock it to let gas escape without letting bugs in.
