Ralegg shares his instructable of building a blow hose airlock hybrid for brewing. This would work great if you expect vigorous fermentation or use a smaller fermenter so need a blow off hose, but have pets, so you need the security and stability of a standard airlock.

The Brew Site has a how to guide on what they are calling the ideal first brew, something they are calling Apocalypse Beer and Wikipedia calls sugar wine. I think it’s best use is as a base for Pontikka – Finish Moonshine. What do you think – should a persons first brew be undrinkable swill but a good science experiment, on purpose, or will that be discouraging?

This nifty little six pack holder can be bought from the designer on Etsy for $30 – but because he is awesome he has also shared the designs for free on Thingiverse so those with access to a Laser Cutter, CNC Machine. or a -decidely low tech - scroll saw (currently my only easy option) can make their own.
Although I have only seen wooden versions, I would love for those with access to the tech to modify the plans to work in acrylic or metal – maybe even grown to handle 6 growlers!
