Is the siphon tube pushed through the hole in the lid wide enough to handle the blow off? If not, how do you put the large tube in the primary without allowing other stuff get in?
Do I need to use a blow off if I am using a 6.5 or so gallon primary? If so, can I use my siphoning tube attached to the stem of my airlock? Do I need to cut the "X" off the bottom of the airlock? Ready for my first brew and dont want to mess it up!
