...or rather not?

the beer is fermenting for 48 hours now, I used us-05 yeast, OG was 1.050, fermentation temperature is around 64 F. I have slower airlock activity for last couple of hours, but still.....


any advice?
 
If it doesn't blow off in the first 48 hours of active fermenting, it probably isn't going to. You'll probably be fine here without one.

I generally start my beers with a large blowoff tube "just in case" and switch to an airlock after high krausen.
