Nice job Jacob but you might want to cover up the sponsor of your keg otherwise you will get a knock on the door

Not sure what happened to all of them, but have seen on site few converted into the duck-matrix display.

After 6 days blow-off replaced with regular airlock. Not sure if that was the best idea cause it's still bubling like crazy!
Take a look and see how much yeast were blown off over that time.
Just to mention I've used 2l jar ...
