Blowoff Vessel Sanitation IIPA

[Jcpilot]

Hello everyone. Should I be worried about developing an infection through the sanitizer in the blowoff vessel? This is the second time I have brewed and left for several days right after I pitched. I brewed a Pliny the Elder Imperial IPA clone with a starting gravity 1.076. I made a blowoff tube for big beers from a drilled out rubber stopper, 3/4" ID elbow and 1" ID tubing. This tube went into a pitcher of sanitizer, and the pitcher is sitting in a 6 gallon bucket. Check out the video? Should I have my wife change the sanitizing solution in the pitcher when fermentation slows down, or can it wait four days until I get home?

I never bother with sanitizer in my blow-off catch vessel, just clean water.
Never saw the point - what exactly is going to crawl up 4 feet of tubing?

I also make sure to have switched to an S-lock before cold-crashing...

Cheers!

I just use water also and haven't had any problems.
