How likely are blowoffs? I'm cooking up a Russian Imperial Stout from extract right now, but I have things to do tonight and no access to a tube that will fit either my airlock or the grommet. Am I better off staying in to make sure things go well, or will it be fine 12 hours after pitching?

Do you have this kind of airlock?


I've had to start in my 5gal before because my 6.5 was still full. I just leave it in the shower for the first couple days and let everything blow out the top. Then run the shower to wash off the carboy.
I don't know if it'll work with the other kind of airlocks though. It might blow the cap and cup out the top.
