Hello, 2 days ago I made an IPA, I used the yeast fermentis us-05, witch I washed from a previous brew. I had about 1.25 cup of washed yeast. I made a 1/2 gallon starter and pitched the yeast to a 5 gallon carboy OG 1.058. Yesterday it was fermenting perfectly, but this morning I found that it blew the airlock and a lot of beer was spilled. I ferment then in a modified fridge wich i have at a constant 65f. I changed the airlock and it continued to bubble. Should I be worried about contamination? I think I obviously pitched too much yeast, Is there any side effect? How much washed yeast should I use for future brews?
