So, I set my carboy up with a twin bubble airlock filled with whiskey (it's all I have) last night around 7 pm. There wasn't much activity and around 2am there was the very least beginnings of a formation of krausen. After waking up at 10, lo and behold, my twin bubble is full of foam and the top is who-knows-where. Safe to say, my mind is blown. I've never had to rig up a blow off tube, but I did just that and everything is ok.
Could the cause of this be the fact that this beer has far more fermentables in it than any other I've made? I don't know. I assume it should be okay, but part of me worries that the airlock explosion, and neglect due to sleep, will be a sanitation problem. I guess we'll see. : /
