So, I normally don't drink too much while I am brewing (all grain). However, this weekend I did and did not realize I collected way too much wort in my 6.5 gal carboy. I made a 5 gal batch and ended up with almost 6 gal. Did not take gravity reading and it is fermenting like crazy. Advice!

Get a blowoff tube on it or set it in a tub that will catch the spill and take the bung out. Cool it off if you can, cooler beers ferment slower and make fewer off flavors. Maybe put some cool water in a tub and set the fermenter in that.

Thanks all! It is going to be an Oaked Bourbon Rye IPA one day......hopefully
Great news, everyone. I am a brainless tool. I got this recipe off hopville and was going over it to see what I can adjust for next time. Turns out it was for a batch size of 6.3 gallons. I collected 6. The recipe is ruthless rye wannabe if you want to check it out.
