    Should I use a blow off tube or leave it?

    My first plastic fermenter is 8 gallons. It was twice the price of the 24L ones but well worth it. The 5 or so batches I've done before this one I never had a problem with an airlock. Just wish now that I hadn't lent my plastic fermenter to a friend and got stuck using the carboy :D.. Still...
