Hi guys,
First off thanks a million for all of the help and advice so far. I'd be in a literal panic without this site and it's members.
Now, I am fermenting my first ever attempt at a home brew, an IPA. Everything with the brew went well, minus the OG reading. Racked to a Carboy, 24 hrs later fermentation kicked off in a major way.
Noted a good amount of krausen in the Carboy, neck and airlock. The following day it actually blew the bung and airlock off. I'm concerned about contamination.
Any experience or advice with this? So far it's happened 2-3 times. I realize I should have utilized a blowoff tube now.
It's a brewers best IPA kit. About 4 days in. Bubbling slowed as predicted, just hoping I didn't get atmospheric air contamination or God knows what else exposed to the brew.
Thanks.
