So just got my 6.5 gallon BMB. On first sight, it's as glorious as I imagined. Immediately stuck my arm in to touch the bottom. My heart went a flutter. Needless to say I think we've all read about the pros and potential cons. I'm posting this to show my resolve to the whole blow off conundrum. Saw that a bung and airlock with hose works but I hate that method and have had too many clog even with breaking the bottom tabs. I always used a PVC blow off attaching by means of a small bit of 1" ID vinyl tubing. Well that was a little too small. Turns out that tubing will fit inside the next size up at HD! So a piece of 1" ID inside a piece of 1 1/4" ID works perfect! Also for those of us that have a million universal bungs for our glass carboys... They don't fit the BMB lid... Or do they?! Turn that bad boy upside down and it fits around the screw off top! Brilliant!
