Ok so I've attempted my first strawberry mead in a gallon glass jug. I filled it up just at the neck, pitched the yeast and stirred to aerate. Placed the stopper and airlock. Tucked it in for the night and this morning I got up and the airlock and stopper has blown off!!! Hubby came home from work about 4am and didn't see anything so I'm hoping it has only been off for about 5 hrs. My question is, do y'all think my mead is still ok? I've cleaned up the few strawberries I lost and cleaned the stopper and top of the jug and replaced. The yeast is still bubbling away and the airlock seems to be working. What would have caused it to do that? I'm sorry, just new to this and don't know if I should start over or if it's still good. Thanks.
