So I bought a 6.5 gallon carboy and figured I didn't need to get a blow off tube. WRONG-O BONG-O

Here is my MacGyver'd blow off tube. How do I make a proper blow off tube?

I feel very silly right now.

That is indeed very MacGyver.

Basically with a drilled bung and some tubing.

In the morning I'll go get a proper blow off tube. Ugh. I do not want to screw this beer up.

Looks pretty cool to me, very creative!

If it's working, why worry about it?

MeatyPortion · Feb 22, 2011

Picture of the day right there, folks.

That's actually pretty cool.

Hey your carboy is turning into Howie Mandel back in the 80's!

That pic made my morning. Your carboy, like a one-armed smurf, has one blue, four-fingered hand.

That's awesome!! I was hoping for pics of a wort bomb, but that's even better!!

MacGyver would be proud!
Hell, I'm proud!

I think you just showed us how. Don't you dare change it. If you do, you'll ruin your beer.

Awesome!

You could always just pick up a fatty tube...

Fits Like a Glove?

Fatty tube looks like the way to go! This morning things have calmed down (whew!).

Someone give that man a hand! Sorry, couldn't resist.
