You can use a balloon as a gasket (see pic), if you don't have a stopper. For the tube you can use straws or even empty pen tubes.

This exact thread happened when someone made a pen tube water air lock using a discarded pen and a pill bottle. Later another thread with a similar design was posted using a straw and some unknown clear bottle with the same whiny replies this thread has got.

Hot glue, epoxy, or a balloon like in this pic.

I try to stay out of /diy/ homebrewing threads because of this, >>130850 explanation, but this is a /diy/ answer to a /diy/ question. lol

Yes, blow off tubes are better than balloons and 3-piece airlocks. That is for sure. The problem there is you may not have a stopper to use them. You can make a rubber gasket using a balloon. You put the balloon over the carboy top, poke a hole in it and squeeze the tube into the hole. I had to do that once when I ran out of stoppers.

Dandelions are not weeds. They are food and resource. You can eat the entire plant. Make wine and fried food from the flowers, a coffee adulterant from the roasted roots, latex from their sap, etc. Get the seeds from the ones you can, plant them in a garden space. They will do very well.
