I just made my first big beer, 1.60 OG, and forgot to buy a blowoff tube. I came down this morning and a nice sticky foamy substance was bubbling from the top of the airlock. I had not choice but to clean it off and then pour some of the beer out of carboy to make space. Now I'm wondering, do I need a blowoff tube? Perhaps the new space I made will be enough to last the first furious fermentation days...
