Hello all!
After reading a few threads about how to save money and reuse yeast, I decided to give it a go. On Saturday, I transfered a Liberty cream ale out of the primary bucket and into a glass carboy. With the yeast cake that was left in the bucket i poured in an american Pale ale. The yeast was American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056). Things were going great until Saturday night when..KABOOM! The top of the bucket was completly blown off! There was foam everywhere! I cleaned up the mess and put the top back on and refilled the airlock. My question is what are my odds that everthing is alright? Also how could this happen? The airlock wasnt clogged or anything. And finnaly, what can i do in the future to prevent this?
Thanks all
