Change in Flanders Red Method?

[TommyL]

Do I remember hearing that Jamil changed how he did his Rodenbach clone? For some reason I thought I heard he no longer used a plastic bucket for the long term storage required for the Roeselare blend?

I think I remember him saying that as well.

He emailed me back a couple years ago about the same question and he replied that he uses carboys with the orange carboy caps and airlock.

Carboy caps and airlocks? Am I just misreading that and you mean that he uses an airlock and then switches to a cap or is there some way to use them both simultaneously?

By carboy cap I mean the orange/purple plastic carboy hoods that have an airlock hole and blowoff stem. I either use those for aging or even a stopper with an airlock. Both seem to allow sufficient oxygen exchange with minimal to no acetic acid production (at least in my last 18 mos old red and oud bruin I just kegged up).
