I've gotten sick of the mess and cleanup with the old fashioned big bore blowoff tube. I want to fashion something more permanent and possibly to aid in harvesting yeast off of the top (provided it is sufficiently sanitized). I ferment in glass carboys, so I need a means of attaching to the top.
I was thinking something along the lines of this (would love feedback). A fitting tightened on the carboy neck snugly but not airtight. A carboy cap with the top cut off in the shape of a big bore blowoff tube. A large vessel on top of the hole in the carboy cap to provide headspace for blowoff/allow for harvesting of yeast (with a vented lid on it), perhaps a few liters.
Ok, time to break out the MS paint skills...
Edit: The picture should show that the clamp is attached to the carboy cap/blowoff container
