Silent Airlock?

[chappo1970]

On a serious note - just unscrew the lid a little if you're keen to keep the airlock in. CO₂ will escape via the screw thread rather than through the airlock, the positive pressure should keep any nasties who could otherwise wind their way through the screw thread out, and you'll be happy.

Or do as I do and remove the rubber O ring altogether. Simple and effective.

Another angle here..

Does the other half drink the beer you brew?

If yes, get her into the sound by saying "every bloop is a glass of brew"....

OR whatever it takes, but turn the tables so she needs to hear it and that way, you will know when to bottle cause she will be in panic, "It hasn't made a noise in 2 days!"

Just a thought!

Try this...............get into the habit of lovemakin to the sound of your airlock......as in "gloop"/stroke, "gloop"/stroke, "gloop"/stroke, etc.
Very benificial and relaxing.
Tip.......don`t do that with high gravity beers tho, I tried to keep up with a Russian Imperial Stout and f##@#*n` nearly had a seizure.
Mid range beers you`ll be fine.
Let us know how it goes.
