I was researching how to prevent suck back during cold crashing. I was really looking to find out how to hook up a co2 ballon. Does it go on the airlock? If anyone has any input on that, I'm still all ears because I still haven't found that.
Anyway, in my research I stumbled a post on another forum with someone that inverts the ballon per the pictures below. Seems pretty ingenious, but I'd be concerned with off flavors from the ballon. Although I use a 7 gal Fermonster so the ballon may not get to the beer anyway. Obviously the balloon would need to be cleaned and sanitized. Thoughts?
