My third batch, a 5 gal American Wheat, is fermenting in a 6 gallon better bottle (brewed last night, it just started really going late this afternoon.) My lowest gravity beer yet and its filling up my airlock. I've got a spare airlock and I sanitized it and switched it out when I noticed it starting to fill with crud. I have no tubing to use as a blow-off and I can't get out to get some until tomorrow at the earliest. I don't really want to be cleaning the ceiling of my beer cave in the morning.
Should I just keep working the airlock switcheroo strategy or is there a better alternative?
If not, Is there any reasonable assumption as to how frequently I should do this or how long it might last?
