Krausen kwestion
|
|
See what I did there?
Anyway, I'm trucking away with my first brew, and I'm using this kit
http://brooklynbrewshop.com/beer-making-kits/everyday-ipa-1-gal-kit
12 hours in, and the krausen is out of kontrol (did it again)
Normal for an IPA, or do I have some fixing to do? I'm a patient man, so if that's the answer, I'm ready  |

Just watch your temp on your fermentation.

You just got a nice vigorous ferment. That's just fine. But I'd get that tube under a tap & use the water to wash it out right quick. Otherwise,you may wind up with a beercano.

So I went out to my LHBS and bought 2 lengths of 1" round tubing. Now, when I add my blowoff tube, I literally dunk one end of the 1" round tubing into hot water and then jam it into the neck of the carboy with no caps or anything. This allows for more blowoff room.
