That's a good tip! Thanks for the suggestion. I think the blow off tube got clogged or something, it being only a 1/4 in tube

That's what I was assuming. This being my second beer, I was just curious if it could have been anything else. Just don't want to wait 6 weeks to drink some wet cardboard lol

These are the before a s after pics

Well this was more than just a run off..so much pressure built up that I hit my ceiling as well. And that was the most dense spot. Did it just get too warm? I never would have imagined that much pressure could build up with a blow off valve set up.

Soo with 24 hours l, my plastic carboy blew its stopper and spewed beer and yeast cake all over my laundry room. It was set up with an over flow kit with the stopper pressed down tight..not sure how it could blow..any opinions?

This is only my second beer. Just looking for an explanation and how I can avoid it in the future. My guess is overall temperature. Also, with the top being off for who knows how long ( since I was not home for 9 hours) is my beer trash? Just started it yesterday.

Yeah that's what I was thinking..never heard the term bottle bombs though

Finally calmed down enough to put my air lock back on..dry hopping on Sunday..and bottling next Sunday..now for the caramel stout, I was told I should add a little sugar to the beer before bottling to bring out the sweetness of the caramel. Has anyone done this yet?

For the swamp box..is it just a small box freezer box? What's the general cost?

Thanks for the tips..I'll have to run out and get that thermo strip..and find a shirt big enough and stylish enough for my new friend haha

Okay, got my tubing from an aquarium hook up at Meijer..crossing my fingers on it holdong

And my apartment is between 65 and 72 degrees and it's on a tile floor on ground level

Is there a special set up for the blow off or can I just pick up some tubing and a buck from home depot that fits the fermenter lid?

Just started my first batch yesterday..already fermenting after 24 hours. It's a caramel cream stout with safale s 04. 1. Is this normal to ferment this fast? 2. The foam is pressing its way through my air lock. What should I do? How long will this continue?
