    what air lock works best for cold crashing

    I could not find this answer in the other threads. So I was hoping for some help, when I am ready to cold crash what air lock do you like to use. Last time I used an air lock I got from B3 that I could close and the pressure in the better bottle sucked the sides in so it sucked in lots of air...

    Nottingham smell

    I brewed BM centennial blonde about a month ago, had good luck hit the gravity and volume right on for the first time with this recipe.

    Cold Crashing

    I also had a cold crashing question hope you don't mind if I add it here. What kind of airlock do you like to use? Since it wants to pull air in as it cools down what is the best way to keep possible contaminates out but also let air in so my better bottle does not want to suck in air as I'm...
