Brewed an Imperial IIPA with a Whitbread Ale Yeast. Just came home from work and it has all but blown the top of of the bucket. I can't find a thread with anyone having exactly my problem because everyone on this forum with a beer volcano going on in their closet is using an air-lock bubbler and everyone tells them to try switching to a blow of tube. In my case however, I am already using a blow off tube into an Erlynmyer flask, and the yeast has pushed sediment all the way into my water/vodka solution through the tube. I took the lid off and found the bucket lid to be COVERED in green muck. I washed the top, cleared the tube, changed the water in the blow-off, and put it all back together again. It literally only took 2 minutes for the yeast to clog the tubing. What am I supposed to do? I can't sit up all night and keep changing it out.
Hellllllllllllp! Thanks.
