I was curious if anyone uses 1" silicone tubing for a blowoff tube in glass carboys? I can't seem to find any mention of it anywhere. I've been using 1" vinyl for my last 2 batches, but it always seems to knock over my container of sanitizer because it is pretty inflexible and wants to curl back to its original shape. It has been a frustrating end to my last 2 brew days.
I'd like to know if there is a reason I don't see any mention of large silicone blowoff tubes. Do they not fit snugly in the top of a carboy? Are they too expensive? It doesn't seem to be sold on the major brewing websites, but SS Brewtech has it https://www.ssbrewtech.com/products/tubing-silicone-food-grade-1-id
