so how does a primary fermenter bucket with a lid and airlock use blowoff tubing? Does a hole need to be drilled?
2 ways it can be done. Either way, make sure the end of the hose is in a container of water (I use old 32oz juice bottles)
1: I stick a 3foot piece of my siphon hose right into the rubber gromet (wet gromet is easier to get started, put the hose in before you put the lid on incase the gromet pops out, it won't be in your wort) so that about 1/2 inch of hose is inside the bucket.
2: take just the airlock body, and slip a piece of tube over or inside the tube (Whatever you can do to get the best fit)
