Who does this, even with a 6.5 gallon carboy?
I have two six and a half gallon carboys that I have used from the beginning of time. I always use a blow off tube(1/4) into a water pail.
Checking on my brew this morning (furious clone), and of course the blow off tube is filled with foam and the water pail is cloudy with yeast (I assume it is yeast). This happens with most all of my beers. Some have used starters some have not.
Temp is right around 66 degrees F.
What would happen if all of these batches would have been prepared with an air lock on top? oh boy.
I have noticed that some of you folk use large diameter hoses that fit right into the neck of carboy without the bung, does this work better at letting the co2 out?
