I see a lot of posts asking how to set up a blow-off tube when faced with an overflowing ferment, but the advice I've seen usually involves sticking a tube in a carboy bung, or using narrower tubing than most beginning home brewers have on hand. My batch of rice wine started overflowing through the airlock and since I'm using a plastic bucket, not a carboy, I had to improvise. I found that a #7 carboy bung fits snugly in the top of a 3 piece airlock, and then you can get a good seal by inserting the tubing into the bung. I'm sharing here since I haven't seen this trick posted anywhere else. (the towel is just to keep the temperature up)
