Hi All,
Just on my first brew (making a stout from a kit) and after 20 hours fermentation with only brewing sugar I decided to add some spray malt. It seemed ok at first but then *whoosh* suddenly it all goes up. My kitchen is now covered in yeasty sugary foam and I'm wondering whether I've wrecked my first batch of home brew?
For extra info I seem to have lost around 2l out of a starting volume of 23l. The ferment had started with around 3cm brownish foam on top of the brew. I am also pretty confident that nothing untoward should have entered the brew as there was so much coming out!
So, er...what did I do wrong and what can I do now?
Thanks in advance!
