I have never used a blowoff before...always just use an airlock....however, brewing a Hefeweizen this weekend and think I should be using blowoff for that.
Now hwre is my question:
Doesn't the used of the airlock defeat the purpose of the blowoff tube since you still restrict the flow area for blowoff to the size of the airlock tube that goes thru grommet on bucket lid?
I was planning on using a carboy with a 1.25" hose, etc....but I do like the idea of the bucket just becaus eof the extra headspace and it doesnt let light in...etc...
