Do you have to burp it or can you just do a one way seal? When I do custard or alcohol infusions in Mason jars with my sous vide circulator, I just tighten the lids, then loosen 1/12 of one turn. Water stays put but air can escape as pressure goes up. Wouldn't that work here?

Probably would work but I like to keep a little extra CO^2^ in solution when it settles and want to make sure there is no oxygen as I do not do extreme cleaning steps like I probably should.
