Blow-off Tubes


Sometimes when home brewing the fermentation can go a little overboard. If you are using just an airlock this can create quite a mess for you. Using a blow-off tube when brewing is a safe bet you will not have any unwanted messes. They are pretty simple to make and require just a few items. I have also included a short podcast I made to help walk you through the process.
 


Materials:
1. A fermenter
2. Food grade tubing 5/16” is usually a safe size
3. Some type of container to hold fluid like an empty water jug.

Steps:
1. Sanitize everything
2. Attach the tubing to the rubber stopper on your fermenter so it’s airtight. 
3. Then route the other end of the tubing into the water jug with some sanitized water in the jug.
