    Bubbler on the side?

    Hi! I've recently acquired a bunch of buckets I want to use as my FV, and I noticed that all buckets supplied by stores in kits and whatnot always have the airlock/bubbler on the top. I live in a small flat, so space is of the essence, so I wanted to drill holes and fit o-rings about 2cm from...

    Airlock not bubbling

    Hey guys, I brewed my first beer with a Ballihoo fermenting bucket and barrel, about a month ago. I attached an air lock, but it did not bubble once during the month and a half it was brewing (apart from when I transported it in the car!). Rather surprisingly, the beer came out OK in the end...

    Best type of airlock/blow off for Make your own red wine kit

    Ok so I have a brew fridge set up and I’ve just brewed a batch of Wilko Cerveza lager without an airlock, I just used foil over the airlock hole. My next brew is a Make Your Own Red Wine kit from the Range and it is also my first ever wine brew. I have read up about the kit on here and it...

    Lots of yeast activity, nothing in the airlock

    Hello, I just brewed a DIPA (all grain) and 36 hours after I have no activity in the airlock. I can see lots of activity in the fermenter itself - particles swimming around like crazy - there’s a real party going on in there! Just nothing in the bubbler. Anyone any ideas what, if anything might...

    FV Air Lock "boil over" trap

    I saw someone had a "boil over" of their air-lock that made a mess of their worktop and, although that hasn't happened to me I had an idea that may prevent it happening. The idea is to use the air-lock within another container - in this case a cut down plastic milk bottle so that will trap any...
