What size tubing for blowoff tube?
|
|
I am thinking of switching to large diameter tubing for blowoffs during heavy fermentation. Yesterday I noticed that Lowe's had pretty good prices on 1" clear tubing. What is a good size for a 6.5 gal carboy?

1" ID tubing fits snugly in the top of the glass carboy.

Moisten the tube with some sanitizer so it slides in easier. (That's what she said?)
