I have been reading about cold crashing and the introduction of O2 (and maybe StarSan) with suck back. Since I bottle and use a bottling bucket, I do not own a CO2 tank. Thus, I was trying to find another way to stop the suck back of O2. Here is what I found:
"Use a Mylar balloon that won’t require pressure to inflate. Install it on the airlock when you still have a few gravity points to go then let the completing fermentation inflate it. When you cold crash, the balloon will deflate without exposing your beer to anything other than the CO2 it produces."
This seems the way to go. So, with so many Mylar balloons to choose from with each having a different size hole to fill, what have you found that works with silicone tubing sized 3/4" OD? If you could provide a link, it would be much appreciated.
