Thoughts on this blow-off setup

[mac_1103]

I would use a cold crash guardian, but I don't have alot of room in Mt fermentation chamber

Any way to route the blow off to the outside of the chamber?

Not without drilling a hole. I use a small dorm fridge as the fermentation chamber. In the past I've used a vacuum sealer bag filled with c02. It worked OK. For less than 10 dollars I thought I'd try the mason jar set up. This way I can set it up from the beginning of fermentation. Time will tell. The cold crash guardian looks like great product if I had the room I would use it, always try to give Bobby some business

This hobby means something different to everyone, I like drinking beer and I like making stuff..
So here's my contribution to the thread, I bought a couple of resealable jars on Amazon, being a mechanic and a machinist as well as a marine mechanic, I have slot of supplies, I dug around my supplies and came up with some 1/2 x 1/4 FPT bulkheads some 1/4 X 5/16 "MNPT , and a 1/4" x 2" MNPT nipple, I installed the air lock in a grommet. Before and after, the jars came with decorative wood that I removed so I could get a positive seal with the rubber gaskets..now to make a few more.

Kind of what I was originally thinking of doing. I like SS for anything and everything is why I decided on the NorCal one. But this looks really nice!

Stainless has its place, anything that lives in wort or beer needs to / should be stainless, but stainless pipe fittings can be tempermental, they also gall and dont easily seal all the time, especially if you get imported fittings.
, for something this simple and outside, that will need to be disassembled and cleaned periodically, bronze and brass will be less prone to headaches, it's just not as pretty- sometimes less is more.
I just finished plumbing, a 3 D additive machine at work last Thursday, all the Argon pipes were done in stainless- I'm still mad at it!

I like it, it is kind of steampunk looking. Throw an old pressure gauge on it for grins!
