    3 piece airlock blowoff problems

    I have seen several posts where people have their blowoff tube get clogged when using the 3 piece airlock and 1/2 inch tube. As seen in the picture my airlocks had extra material at the bottom that would easily clog up when krausen got into it and you end up with the mess you were hoping to...
