The Napkin is meant to cover the opening to the fermentor. It keeps bugs, dust and other random particulates out of the wort, while allowing CO2 to escape, preventing a build up which could shatter the fermentor.

The water valve does the same thing, just more efficiently and more effectively.

Sweet.

I'm planning on doing a mexi-metheglyn next. it'll be ready in time for Cinco de Mayo next year.

AG isn't all that hard. It just requires a bit of specialized gear. Or you need to do small batches.

All I do is AG. Never done extract. Looking to try my hand at malting. Got a friend who's allergic to gluten, and all GF beer sucks ass. nobody malts quinoa or buckwheat.

Any brewers or mazers on /diy/?
