Do i need water at the end of my blow off

[46andbrew]

I have a blow off tube on my barly wine right now and it's in a sanitized glass secondary just wondering if I need to put a sanitized solution in the secondary or if it ok how it is dry

The end of the blowoff tube needs to be submerged in some sanitizing solution. Open exposure to the air is where things can happen.

You need liquid. Preferably something with some sanitizer in it.

Should I just pour some sanitized solution in there it had some liquid from the foam that already made its way in

Yes. Make sure the end of the tubing is submerged completely, so you can fill it up quite a bit with water and some sanitizer. Or, get something smaller (like a growler), and sanitize that and use that for your blow off water and stick the tube in there.

And make sure your jug is below the fermenter not even or above or you can suck sanitizer back into the fermentation dies down
