Hey all...
I boiled a 5gal batch of Belgian Dark Strong (using WhiteLabs WLP530 Liquid Yeast and having an OG of 1.070). 24-hours in, the airlock was bubbling like crazy at 73 degrees! 30-hours in, it was bubbling out at 71 degrees, and now 40-hours in... It popped its top! I threw it in an emergency Ice Bath to bring the temp into the 60s, and when replacing the AirLock... The rubber seal fell into the wort! FML! So, I replaced it with a spare... And now there is ZERO activity! Am I hosed on this batch? And if not... What do I need to do to make sure fermentation completes? Thank you all, in advance!
