        Frequently Asked Questions

        What is a blowoff tube and how do you make it? +

        One method is to use a section of 1/2" tubing and wedge it into the inside of a 3-piece airlock (you have to remove the plastic bubbler piece.) Another more popular method is to use an orange carboy cap and attach a section of 1/2" tubing. We have used both methods, never had a problem with either, but would prefer the carboy cap because the tubing is easier to clean and the cap attaches to the carboy with a better grip creating a better seal. We do sell line brushes to clean lines with. Anyone who wants to use large quantities of fresh fruit in the primary will want to use a blow off tube to avoid clogging an airlock. You might even want to have a double blow off using 3/8" and 1/2" tubing on our carboy hoods.(We recommend adding fruit to a secondary fermenter to avoid this.)

        Good addition.

        Perfect fit and works great. Easy to clean. Will last a lifetime.

        Good blow-off tube; but the diameter advertised is incorrect.

        I was initially sent a blow-off tube with lots of stuff stuck to it: glue and blue paper. The dimensions were wrong too. It was advertised as being 1/2" inner diameter, when in fact it is 1/2" outer diameter. The inner diameter is smaller. (The height and width are correct as advertised.)I contacted MoreBeer about this, and to their credit they replaced the sticky tube with a new, clean one. But the new one has the same dimensions.I thought about how this could be. I imagine it might be a rounding error from metric dimensions. I wish MoreBeer would correct how it is advertised.Functionally, it's good. The stainless steel used is strong. It can be puahed into a 6.5 stopper, and the stopper+tube fit nicely in a regular glass carboy.If you want a steel blow-off tube, I'd recommend it over the narrower one. Just understand and expect that the inner diameter is less than 1/2".

        Exceeded expectations

        I have always questioned the sanitation of blow off tubes..with this I simply placed my carboy bung in hot water until the center hole was very flexible, slit the blowoff cane onto it, and set a water pitcher with solution next to carboy. Worked perfectly.

        Wish it was an inch longer and an inch wider

        Hated using my 1/2 in Silicone Hosing as it didn't keep shape very well. I primarily use FE331 (6.5gal Italian glass threaded neck carboy) for fermentation and the cane works, but it is just a little too short and skinny for convenience. It works perfectly as intended, but where the cane ends is right next to the carboy right near the top of a quart canning jar.

        Will this work on the anvil crucible?

        MoreBeer!

        Yes. This will work beautifully. I used a little sani for lube and pushed it into the bung where the airlock would go. On the other end I attached a little silicone tubing and put the end in a cup of sani.

        Will this work with the stopper in the premium brew kit?

        MoreBeer!

        As long as the hole in the stopper is large enough.

        MoreBeer!

        I used a standard #7 bung and it works fine .

        MoreBeer!

        The hole in the #10 Stopper is 3/8". This Blow Off Cane is 1/2". I insert a short 3/8" Hose into the Stopper and then insert the Blow Off Cane into the Hose. Works perfectly for me. Good luck.

        MoreBeer!

        I have yet to find anstopper that fits this without it popping off the carboy.
