Blow off tube question

I just stuck my tube in the hole of the lid and it stayed secure. The problem was I had an extremely high gravity beer with a really vigorous yeast, which blew the lid off. I learned my lesson. For a standard gravity batch of beer I think you would be fine. For anything high gravity I would suggest a carboy with a larger diameter blow off tube instead of the smaller diameter tubing you use for racking.

I think you'll be just fine. I regularly ferment higher gravity batches than that in buckets with a blow off tube. You may actually get some blow off with bigger batches, but that's better than a clogged airlock in my opinion (which I've never used).
