Home made airlock, and wash bucket for excess! Pic

Here is a pic of a fix to an almost mistake.
I had way to much sugar in my first wash, so with the advice of members here I diluted and added some tomato paste to my wash. I had some left over so I re-used the water jug instead of throwing away the extra.

Enjoy. Though some others that are wet behind the ears would like this!

Yes imagination and ingenuity

Don't like to bust your bubble or anything like that - and I don't know what type of climate you have or temperature variations etc. but where I live and by not using controlled environment systems, sometimes it can get a bit cold quickly and at the end of a ferment when the activity slows down, the water in the jug can actually get sucked back into the ferment due to negetive pressure inside the fermenter vessel (sucking back contaminations etc..
While I admire your ingenuity, I think a coiled pipe or 'U' bend with some water in it will work just as well and better for whichever way the pressure works.
Cheers

My apartment is heated and has an air conditioner so my temp stays around 72-74f

Hey, I see your operation is being continuously monitored by your furry helper in the tank. Can you power your boiler with him in that cage?

Sometimes when you pick up your fermenter with an air lock on the water will suck back in as well. I did that once with a plastic carboy. After that I started filling my air lock with cheap vodka so if it does get sucked back in it won't matter.

She probably will, but by that time, it will be too late

Can you tell me what has been stuck up the arse of that poor bastard pictured on your fermenter?

And what paticular crime he committed to recieve such a forceful punishment?

after two litters that thing is probably all kinds of nasty and itchy... no wonder she is chewing on it.

I got a bucket with that picture on it, never noticed it before. Going to try and scrape it off.

Keep in mind the circle_/ in the pic. The pic must mean, don't run and stumble, or you you might get something large jammed up your arse.

All joking aside..its a warning about the danger of a child falling head first into the bucket and drowning. That "projection" is one of the child's legs.

My wife says I'm the oldest child she has
