I found this cap, which is pretty much perfect.

I also found this plug, which is cool, but not easily removable.

I decided to combine them, so you can put the cap on to vent, leave it however long you want, then take it off, and reuse it later on another bottle.  

(If you're using a lot of these bottles, I recommend you look into buying a refillable 5lb tank!)

I also made a cover for the lid to keep the ‘pin’ safe. The cover was pretty snug on my printer, but perfectly usable.
