This is the first time those foam control drops have failed me. Granted, I am fermenting a batch of Cannonball Stout (AHS) with two packs of Notty. The poor foam control drops never stood a chance against such a foamy onslaught. All is well though: I was able to clean up and put in place a sanitized blowoff.
Let this be a lesson: foam drops are incredible, they really make your life easier and mostly boilover/blow off free. However, they do not make you immune to blow offs and really big beers fermented with really aggressive yeast will still blow off.
Though, I must say: being able to take a nap during hop additions is fun.
