I've been using an air stone for aeration for a few batches now with great success (much faster fermentations!)
However, after my last time aerating, as I was rinsing off my tubing and stone, the stone seems to have broke off. I figured I must have had a cheap stone so I went to the store and they seem to come in two varieties, cheap and cheaper. Anyone else have this experience? I am wondering if the no-rinse solution I used for sanitation this time may have played a part (are usually use a bleach solution)
I've talked to some of my aquarium friends and they've never heard of this happening before.
