I had a batch of beer that began fermenting within 5-6 hours and everything was fine but I began to have overflow. Much of the overflow was krausen and after only ~a day and a half my krausen is gone. I have always had the krausen for at least 3-4 days per batch. There is still airlock activity so some fermentation is occurring but I am making a big beer (est 7-9% abv) and worried I will get a beer that is to sweet.
 
RDWHAHB. Remember every fermentation is different. Let that bad boy sit for another week, then check the gravity.

As I plan on doing but was more concerned if i had lost something important in the krausen with the blow over.
 
It is fine. Blow off happens a lot. You may have lost a little bit of beer but that's it. Luckily the krausen didn't end up on the ceiling. :)
