Here's the order of events:
I'm tired of losing beer and I feel like no one else complains about this so it must be something I'm doing wrong. Most batches I lose beer on are 1.080 OG or higher, fermenting at 65 Degrees F and I always use a blow off tube for the first 72 hours and then switch to airlock. Bucket is usually water in a metal pot with a bit of star san in it.
I pitched 3724 + brett C into a 1.088 OG Saison...12 hours later, the 5 gallons of beer in a 6 gallon carboy is now close to 4 gallons of beer..technically, it's Wort still but you get the point.
anyway, I'm pissed. I'm sick of losing roughly 16 pints of beer with every batch I brew.
- 5 Gallon Carboy + Airlock...explosion covering my ceiling
- 5 Gallon Carboy + Blow off tube to bucket, lose 1.5 gallons of beer in the first 24 hours
- 5 Gallon Carboy + under-pitched yeast (hoping to reduce the vigorous fermentation start nope, 24 hours later I lose a gallon of beer into the blow off bucket
- 6 Gallon Carboy, 5 gallon batch, blow off tube .I lose half a gallon of beer in first 24 hours
