What's a dyr airlock?

+1 for s-type. The sound of bubbles is soothing. I fill mine with vodka, whiskey or rum, so if I do have suck-back, I raise my ABV.

I've only needed a blow-off tube when I've had to use a 5-gallon carboy as a primary fermenter. Usually use buckets.

What's a [dry] airlock?

The ones I've seen are just a bung with four holes drilled through. Then there's a rubber cap thing that goes over those holes on the top. So pressure is able to get out but can't get in.

They're very simple little devices but I'm not describing them well.

I think I'll pick one up today for my bulk aging apple wine.
