Because of storage issues (I live with my parents, so I ferment in my own room), i´ll have to build something yo move my waterlocks a little lower than they are at the moment.

Let me explain, I have my fermentation buckets under my bed. Otherwise the would fit, if it wasn´t for the waterlocks. I´m thinking of building an piece of extension tubing for the waterlocks to move them to the sides of the buckets. Maby even fixating the waterlocks to one single point. So my questions are:

1. What material should i use? Is there a differense?
2. What should i think of in the building of the rig? (Airtight of course :D)
3. Any other tips? Experienses?
 
How much too tall are your fermentors?

I would see about doing a blow off tube.

how bout using blow-offs instead of airlocks?
To be honest i havn´t even thought about a thing like that, and now i feel like an idiot for not googling any alternetives for my idea... :p I think ill go with blow of tubes : )
Thanks

Maybe it would be easier to put the bed up on blocks? :D
True, but it´s high enough as it is to climb into :p
