Smithy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yep, there will be no problem leaving it off. I believe the original intention behind it was to allow for more head space during those volcano brews. The cleaning thing was just a bonus.

Im not doing 2cans just yet For most beers you won't need it, but it does help with cleaning the Krausen leftovers easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not doing 2cans just yet Do I need to insure my car?.... well not until I have an accident. I only use the collar if I think it is going to be a huge brew. nevertheless, it is hard to tell as a lot of factors determine if it will be or not.

Kearnage Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've never used the krausen collar - simply because it makes the FV too tall to fit in my fridge. I've not had any issues. The new FV has more head space than the old one anyway, and the fact the lid is not sealed seems to reduce the volcano potential a little. Mind you, if I do an RIS I may have a lot of cleaning up to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
