Works great doesn't it? You can take most of the krausen without fear. You won't disrupt the fermentation.

Yeah, I figured the krausen wasn't actually doing much since it wasn't really in contact with the wort. I expect that there was a lot more yeast in suspension than sitting on the top.

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen that before.

No sweat.
Was I correctly recalling that the Zymurgy Burton union was your gadget?

Yes, it is more or less the same as the one you posted. I prefer to think it was an independent idea, but it is totally possible I saw the BYO one when it came out and it was in my subconscious when I designed mine.

Doesn't Firestone use some variation on that?
