Hey guys... my belgian tripel has been primary fermenting for 4 days now and i came home this morning to find my krausen had escaped thru the air lock... I thought about hooking up a blow off tube, but the krausen was only at about 4 inches and i had about 6 left in the carboy. I figured it would be ok, apparently last night it went thru a crazy period and came out of the airlock. So my question is did i handle this situation correctly...
I took a 5 gallon bucket and dropped in some star san, thru in my large diam. blowoff tube (same size as opening on carboy) and sanitized that, i quickly removed the bung and the airlock and stuck the blowoff tube into the carboy and the other end into the 5 gallon sanitizer bucket...
other than cleaning up my closet, did i jeopardize anything?
Thank ya!
