Cleaning the fridge would still suck, no?
Hopefully if that happens I can just unplug it and hose it out

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but it's only a slight deviation (and I'm not sure where it truly should go)...
Is it really necessary to fill the blow off container with sanitizer or can you just use clean water?

I've done 9 or 10 batches now and all but one have required a blow off regardless of gravity. Is that normal?

I have a bucket that holds almost 7 gallons to the brim. I did an average brew and it blew a lot. I have 6 gallon better bottles and sometimes they never get close to blowing. I usually use Fermcap-s to control the krausen but have even gotten blow off with it.
Someone else:
Saying you don't need a blow off for low gravity beers is like playing Russian Roulette. Good luck.
