I am going to brew a 5 gallon extract batch and place it in my 6.5 gallon better bottle carboy. I will use a blow off tube. I usually switch to a airlock about a week into the fermentation. I won't be around to switch out the blow off tube to and airlock. Is it OK to leave the blow off tube in the entire 2 weeks the beer in the primary? Is there anything else I sure do to ensure proper fermentation?
Thanks.
Thanks.
