Standing up for the Aussie Bottler
This is the discussion topic for article: Using Glad wrap instead of a lid
Hey i got one.If I could work out a way to use an immersion heater (safely) with glad wrap, I'd do away with all my lids. Any one got some cool McGyver way of getting the best of both worlds? (preferably with some tin foil, chewing gum and a pocket knife)
am I asking for trouble making the fermenter too overtight?
Dang! Just when I though I prolly had the perfect thing by accident!
I'm going to try and build a pressure cooker type of thing, only let out CO2 when it's built up to some pressure. I hate my airlocks. I frekkin loathe them. They are supposed to bubble g@)@&&17. Sigh. Thnx mate. Folks at home will appreciate me not creating a barrel bomb in the laundry.
I do this with my yeast in a powerade bottle i just tighten it when i shake then release works great!I've used a lid loosely screwed on before. Far from ideal but I drank the beer.
I just ferment in 20lt and 25lt cubes/jerrys and back off the lid a half turn so the CO2 has somewhere to escape. Don't bother with gladwrap and all that type of crap anymore. Basically went this way because I can fit more square pegs into the square hole (tha fridges) therefore maximise the fermentation fridges space.
Although I did used to Gladwrap back in the day with barrel fermenters and tossed all the lids in the brewery spare parts bin.
Just the way I do things. Horse and course fella's :icon_cheers:
