Better bottle blowoff tube?

[Aleforge]

Does anyone know what size tube needs to be purchased in order to seal tight inside a better bottles neck for blowoff? Or exactly which stopper I would need large enough to fit a more standard smaller tube into?

Thanks!

the stopper is a #10 I use the brown caps with 1/2 tubing.

Or make one yourself with a #10 stopper an 1/2" hose. Drilling the hole could be tricky. $5, though, $5.

Nice setup by the way. I am curious how much you are able to drop the temperature with the bath you have going there? What is the room temp and BB temp?

Thanks, I really do like the way Springer is doing it.

I think I might go ahead and setup that way!

Put the blowoff vessel on the floor if you do. It's not likely, but you could get a siphon going and find the water from your vessel in your beer.

The room temp is high 70's* to low 80's the swamp water was at 64-5*The brew area is in my basement as is my wood stove I have since rigged up a curtain to separate the room and last night it was 71* ambient on the brew side.

With the swamp coolers I can get the water down to 64* easily with ice additions my son works local and checks on them during his lunch. I have a lager in the lagering faze so I couldn't put this ale in there at 34*. The BB was at a steady 68* the whole time of fermentation. Once you get the 10 gallons or so of water and the beer to the right temp its pretty easy to maintain an even temp. I put a cap full or so of bleach in each bucket as the water will be sitting for 10-14 days it can get a little scuzzy if you don't.

I need to make some type of cabinet or cooling system for the conical so I can use it more often.

its never happened to me before . You would really need a drastic drop in temp to suck the water back since the primary is at + pressure during fermentation.

The blowoff is only on during the most active part of fermentation anyways they now have airlocks on them.
