Airlock not bubbling

[Dan Pratt]

Hmmm, wonder if I can glad wrap the brewbucket and use the oring from the coopers lid? I like to be able to see the krausen.

Now there is a radical idea

Haha, recently used one on my new SS brewbucket and I wasn't sure what to do.

I had to buy one for my Brewbucket - one of those two piece cylinder types. Fortunately the inner tube of the bottom assembly fits a length of beer line perfectly and I run it into a blowoff bottle.

For the OP:

Either use clingwrap attached by the O ring inside the lid of the fermentor, or take a sharp box cutter and trim off all the bad mouldings and tags that you will no doubt find on the lip of the fermentor.

I just put the lid back on without the oring.

The fact that brewers still use airlocks is scary

What do u use Ducatiboy stu? Glad wrap or blow off?

Neither.

I leave the lid of my fermenter just partially screwed so that excess pressure can pass either way. I haven't had any infection problems ever that I can reasonably attribute to airlock type issues. Cleaning fails, yes. Children doing child antics, yes. Evil spoilage bugs floating in on the air, no.

Thanks T! I'm gonna relax and have a home brew.
