3068 was actually the yeast in the last beer that I needed a blowoff tube for.

Maybe a better option would be to get a large bucket, say 8 gallons, for yeasts that are likely to need a blowoff tube. Then stock fermcap-s as the backup plan.

You beat me to it, Phil. I ferment all my beers in 8 gallon wine fermenter buckets and haven't needed a blowoff hose since switching. That includes big beers, and also 3068 and 3787.

Yeah, I remember you saying that on another thread. Till now, it seemed like a blowoff tube was easier than a rather large piece of equipment that won't be used all the time. Now a 8-gallon bucket is looking like the simplest solution.
