How to build the air lock.

Here is how I build an airlock for fermentation in a 2 litre bottle. I had a lot of people ask about it, so here it is.

i just used a tube into a shot glass, works good, sealed with wax

@lcurtizz I tried using wax but just made a mess. Couldnt get it to stick right.

i couldnt get this to work the water just kept sqirting out the top.. pretty damn frusrating actually so i cut the tube in half, added 2 medicine bottles (a small one upside down in a big one) and ran the tube through the bottom filled it up with water and cut a hole in the cap to let the gasses out. little more work but it works perfect

@bluered1322 Yeah, thats closer to how real airlocks are made. If you start using turbo or brewer's yeast, you may have to go back to a hose and stick it in a contaner of water.

very cool man. I just spent $3 on 3 airlocks which is fine, but $6 on shipping, this should save me a bundle.
