I made a logistical error last night. I brewed a English Bitter and placed it in my 6 1/2 gal carboy not remember that I was going to need it for today for another brew. But my question would be Ive got additional 5 gal carboys available but Im concerned about not having any head space. Would a blowoff tube be ok to use with no issues ?
 
Yeah, a blow off will be fine. You may lose a quart or two of beer but there won't be any negative affects otherwise.
