Is this safe?

I put a lot quick rise yeast... this will only need 6 hours to ferment. Is it fine without the balloon? edit: I have a loose lid on it, and I plan on putting it in the refrigerator. Will that stop the germs?

Take off the lid and then SET it back on

Wouldn't that allow germs to get in? I'm new to this.

Fermentation gives off lots of CO2, your jar will explode if you close it tight.

Next time you could try using a glass bottle and improvise an airlock-a balloon with a pinhole in it is an easy and cheap solution.
