Also, if you use the triple-ripple airlock, it won't suck anything back through due to the nature of the design.
You, sir, are mistaken.

LMAO! Short and sweet.
The only one I ever had sucked back all the water into the fermenter the first time I used it. In fact it is the reason that I started using vodka in the first place.
Not very productive...
Entertaining none the less...
Agree to disagree. I'm trying to help people out here, not get heckled.
The type of fermenter has a large play in this. A glass fermenter doesn't have the flex that a better bottle or a bucket has. If you lift a bucket or a BB you run the risk of having strong suction through the airlock which can bring in whatever liquid is in the airlock. Less of a problem with a glass carboy or a stainless steel fermenter.
That's a fantastic insight that hadn't occurred to me, which might explain why I've never had this issue, as all my fermentation has been in glass --- thanks hoosier!
