Hot wort catcher. Thanks Brewswag.
I got the same lines on Amazon and installed them yesterday. Cheers50 ft of beer line. This stuff is cheap and no flavor. More goo gone to help remove those stubborn labels. And a new beer log book. View attachment 616761
4gal fermenter, Anyone try these, thoughts?
I got a couple of these to use for bottling the small batches. The lid comes with a gasket that does not easily stay in place, at least not for me. The lid latches down with out too much turning without the gasket I’m not sure that tiny pests would be kept out... those damn fruit flys can get past airlock lid vents. The bottom is not flat, but is rounded, so the trub, would probably not get picked up in the flow of the spigot. They appear to be repurposed beverage dispensers.4gal fermenter, Anyone try these, thoughts?

I just ran across one of your sticker over the weekend and quickly adhered it to the beer fridge.
Guess you'll be VERY involved with the home brew trade thread! [emoji3]I ordered this in December. Forgot about, just figured I'd never see it. I really wish I hadn't. Awful timing for a withdrawal from my bank account....

How does a one-piece S-shaped airlock prevent suck back during cold crash? I ask because I once stuck my Speidel plastic fermenter in my spare fridge to cold crash a beer and one side of the fermenter caved in. They're built quite sturdy so that's some pretty powerful suck back. I can't imagine a simple, small airlock is going be impenetrable to such a powerful force.
I've read pretty much the same. It's for that reason that I don't cold crash at this time. I also read about using a large balloon to capture CO2 during fermentation and sucking that back in instead of oxygen when cold crashing. I may experiment with that down the road.I've read several older threads on the subject and it doesn't stop the suck back (air) per se, it supposedly prevents the liquid in the airlock from being drawn back into the fermenter which I have had happen with 3 piece airlocks... we'll see what happens. If all else fails, I guess I have 2 new airlocks I can use for other applications.
Why didn't you get the big one..... Lol
