I never use a blowoff, I just remove the airlock, and clean up any mess if it occurs with a violent fermentation. If you want to brew kits, have plenty of money, and don’t want to bother with steeping grains, then… www.williamsbrewing.com When I did extract, I found that the kits from www.grapeandgranary.com always were good, just sub in the liquid yeast… Cheers, Mike

I’ve never had any problems with 5 gal in 6 gal bucket. I’m on batch 6 now. Also, where do you guys recommend a beginner to go for kits and supplies???

I’ve bought my last few kits (mash-extract) from 7 Bridges (www.breworganic.com). They also have extract-only AWA all-grain. It’s the all organic that hooked me. :^) Supplies FTMP come from my LHBS. Good luck. Eyke

You probably are OK with just an airlock. If you want to be absolutely certain attach a blow tube just in case. – Bill Success lies in achieving the top of the food chain. — Jubal Harshaw, 1904-
