While cold crashing a batch a few months ago I was having a lot of trouble with suck back. I know its not a big deal since I use a Star San solution in my airlocks, but its still annoying and unsettling for some reason. So I brewed my first lager this past weekend and have run into a bit of post brew boredom. Boredom usually ends in weird projects and in this case I decided to eliminate this suck back problem for good. This is what I came up with:
I had a few things on hand so I think it cost me about $10. I tested it when topping off the airlock by pouring some of the Star San solution directly into the the tube in the middle and not a single drop landed in the carboy. It all made its way into the tubing on the side. Although not a necessary addition I think its pretty cool. :rockin:
