Hey there - I recently bought the intermediate brew kit from Midwest Supplies. It comes with a 6.5 gal Ale Pail with a small hole drilled with a rubber grommet in the lid which is the perfect size for an airlock. I'm concerned that I might get some blow off. I ordered a blow off kit from northern brewer, but it's a fairly wide hose connected to a drilled stopper for a carboy. Does anyone use blow off tubes for bucket fermenters? If so, I'm guessing I need to drill a much larger hole to allow for drilled stopper.
Questions:
- Is this normal or is there a small blow off hose that people use for this situation? I'm guessing it's gotta be really small since the hole is so small
- If I need to drill a new hole, does anyone know the correct size to use and the best way to drill this out to keep it clean and to ensure a tight fit with the stopper?
Thanks in advance!
