I see pictures of glass carboys with a blow-off installed and I can easily understand how this works. My question is with an Ale Pail, how do you put a blow-off tube in one of these?
I have read a few threads and it is mentioned that they are using a Pail and a blow-off tube. I just have a hard time getting my head around this concept given that my bucket has a tiny grommet and it would take something like a 1/4" line to fit into this hole but I don't know that it would seal real well and I question what kind of volume I could get out of it anyway. Any pictures would really be appreciated, I am a visual learner.
I just brewed a Hefe and the fermentation was pretty lively. I had to clean and sanitize my air-lock twice due to foam entering before it finally died down. I like the concept of a blow-off but I don't want to go with glass yet as I am not really set with my process.
