On the other end of the blow-off tube

[Bartmannj]

I'm planning to use a blow-off tube on my next batch. I've seen people use water at the other end while others insist on some kind of sanitizing solution. Are bleach-water solution or spirit such as vodka good choices?

i use water becuase of the amount of liquid it takes. We use a bucket that some liquid extract came in that we ordered form austins home brew. i change the water every three days. i never read what to do just doing just that made since to me.

I use a small bucket about a 1/2 gallon and fill it with star-san solution. You can just use what ever sanitizer you used to sanitize your carboy with, pour it from the carboy to you blow off tube bucket.

bleach water will work
