So we brewed up a good looking batch on Sunday, and got everything set. Transferred it into a carboy, pitched yeast and set up to do it's thing. We ran a hose from the top of the carboy to a water filled bin to take any blow off that occurred. One time before we just put a little bubbler on top and let it run, and I have never seen such a mess...This time, about 2 hours after pitching, it was beginning to bubble. Temps were hanging right around 65 degrees, and pretty steady. Blocked off the lights to the area and went to bed. After work the next day I stopped in to make sure things were still good, and saw that there was a pretty good amount of blow off.
My question is:
How much is normal? This time seemed like a pretty large quantity blew out, and I wasn't sure what the norm was, or if there was something we should be doing instead to prevent it. Thanks for any thoughts, and everyone have a great rest of their day.
