Air Locks
Ok perhaps some of y'all might be familiar with this. Today I had a new brewer come in looking for some airlock he saw on the internet...what he described to me sounded more like a spigot. At first I thought he meant some kind of blow off tube, but when I set a demo up on one of our display carboys he said "there was no tube". I have tried to search but the only search parameters I can think of for airlocks lead me right back to the usual types. (three piece and double bubble)

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Re: Air Locks
I don't know, but those are cool...I've been having problems getting a 6 gal carboy in my fermentation chamber. That'd sure fix that.

Re: Air Locks
A bit off-topic, but it drives me crazy when people try to describe something they saw or heard about, and expect me to know. Dude, if you saw it on the internet, print the page out and bring it with you. Or, at the very least, write down the name of it so you're talking intelligently.

Re: Air Locks
I dunno. I'm not aware of any 'new' type of airlock, sorry.
Post up if you find anything as I always like to window shop.
