morning lads n lasses. was up sparrow fart!
could say at this time, time to ponder, smell the coffee.
one thing crept mounding my tiny mind is one thing, THE LID ITSELF!
comes down one thing in my own mind.
THE LID WAS DESIGNED FOR PURSPOSE in conduction with a boiler.
plain n simple managing a seal whilst distilling!
as pointed out not only by one but others.
heheh! i do listen bless me!
to cut a long story short!
for all i started testing with low psi (around 1-3psi)
‘my **** fell out!’ and it held!
i’m with yous as far as too much pressure! (hmm there’s a song in there somewhere!) could damage it.
you could say i had to experience it for mysel!
and i did!
not a total flop, just needed to learn the limitations.
soooo pressure ferment OUT!
natural ferment via blow off spunding valve.
if anyone worried about the lid and ‘Critters’ getting in’ LEAST THE LID HAS THAT COVERED & co2 blanket will do the job.
i remember one of my first placca FV’s n getting cheesed off why the bubbler wasn’t working! we’ve all been thought it lol
as u can guess it was actually the seal in the lid! and fermentation went mint!
so i can say 100% certain that the seal off the lid and set up works for natural ferment.
back up from practice that the kids made for!! vapours! hmmm! say no more.
where did i go from here.
i’ll fire pics first, then explain to double check my theories of the lid going on!! think you get it, prove it in another boiler under natural ferment.
)
end, and maybe people view me as a nut case and not serous!
