BOVs

Well it looks like the recently brewed ESB is in need of a Blow Off Valve so I thought i would take this time to show a few pics and describe just how we do it here at the Heartache. Basically it is just a carboy cap in which we place a bit of tubing in one of the openings, keeping the other opening capped, and then run that tubing in to a bit of water. Sometimes we run the tubing into jugs or growlers, other times we just use a nice bucket. This allows for the CO2 and blow off to escape yet still doesn't allow for the nasties to get in.

Cheers!
