Hello all! Im new to brewing and made a Woodfordes Nog real ale kit this weekend (first batch ever!!!). After one day, theres backup into the airlock!
I quickly made up a batch of santizer, sanitized a ladle and took some of the batch out (because the liquid was somehow up to the rim of the primary). Santized the lid and airlock again, filled airlock with vodka, and again this morning, theres backup into the airlock
So should I risk opening the batch again to pour off some liquid.....or just keep cleaning and replacinng the airlock? Is this batch contaminated already??I really hope not because this ale smells like it would be great :-(
This forum is great btw!!!
