Okay, I'm brewing my dream beer, it's been fermenting for a few days, and I'm an idiot. It's in a plastic bucket with an airlock (I've never used a blow off system before but now I know why that's a good idea...).
After a few days of fermenting, I came home from work today to find the top of the lid blew clear off the bucket. It was sitting open for hours. The foamy top is beautiful, but now of course I'm worried about my brew.
What should I do? For now, I just put the lid back on with the airlock. But I don't want it to happen again. I don't have a blow off tube setup. Should I try to rig one or what?
help!
