Just out of curiosity, do you have to switch out the blow off tube for an airlock? The reason I ask is that I want to throw together a batch of Ancient Orange Mead and I only have one airlock. Currently I have a 5 gal batch of ale that is just shy of a week old. I've got the blow off tube on there now, but according to what I've read, should be switching to an airlock soon, as the violent part of the fermentation seems done. Is there harm done if I use my airlock for my mead and leave the blow off until I can make it to a LHBS to pick up another (likely on Saturday)?
