So Im fermenting a Hefeweisen for the first time in a glass carboy. It was pretty full so I was a little worried about having enough head room in there. So it appears to be fermenting pretty vigorously because the airlock blew off.
So my wife calls me while Im at work just now and says the airlock blew off and there is Krausen spewing out. I told her to just rinse out the airlock and stick it back on. Anything else she can do till I get home in the next 4 hours and try to rig up a blow off? I dont have any of the thick hose for it, but I figure I can at least use what I have and connect it to the top of the airlock with the lid off.
This is the first time this has happened to me, so Im not sure what else to tell her thats not too overly complicated. She is home with our 7 week old baby..
Thanks everyone!
