So, I am going to brew my first all grain. Using clarity ferm so that I can drink it cuz I have the Celiacs. Never experienced an all grain fermentation. Is a blow off tube required or air lock still good enough? Any help would be appreciated.
If you are able to control fermentation temperatures and keep the temperature in the desired range during fermentation, then an airlock should work just fine. Warmer fermentation's create some large krausens and crazy blow offs.
Guess I have been lucky then. I have never used a blowoff and have never needed one. High ABV's, wheats, etc. I contribute it partially to fermentation temperature control, but hey, I could be wrong. Probably blow the lid off of my next brew, lol.
