Or "Why blow-off tubes exist"
My last batch I pitched on a health yeast cake in my 6.5 gal carboy. The krausen filled my blow-off tube and was kicking stuff into the bucket. Keep in mind I use 1" vinyl tubing. I'd hate to see what would have happened if I used the usual airlock

"Thar she blows!"
that is amazing. I certainly didn't get that kind of action from my brew...but I didn't get a lot of mess to clean up either. I guess there is a trade off.

holy crap! I've never had an explosion like that - never used a blowoff tube although I did buy one - but with my vanilla cream ale I found the airlock a few feet away from the bucket when it first started kicking. But I guess that's just co2, not the krausen.

Yeah,
Over flow hose till that stops,
then ... the airlock.
Otherwise that would happen nearly everytime.

One of the funniest homebrew-related pictures I've ever seen! I liked it so much, I sent a link to my girlfriend.
