Hi all. First post here. I am making my third beer. It is an IPA kit that I got from my local HBS. Well, I made the wort, put it in the primary, pitched the yeast, and came home from work today, and damn. Lots of foam and krausen coming through the airlock, enough to where I think I need a blowoff tube. I went to home depot and got some 5/8 inch outer diameter hose, but I have a crappy s-type airlock, so I need to wait until tomorrow (since my HBS closes early) to get a three piece airlock which I will be able to attach the hose too.
Do you guys have any suggestions until I can rig my blow off tube tomorrow? I tried doing it with my s airlock, but it's not airtight. I'm OCD and fear contamination and/or explosion!
