Here's a new one on me I'd like to ask my fellow brewers on this forum about. There are probably other threads that may explain this, so please excuse my redundancy. The particulars of my latest batch are: OG 1.076, yeast WLP001, fermentation temp 66 degrees constant. After a couple of days of vigorous fermention through the blow off tube, I attached an airlock. For the next 24+ hours there was a steady stream of bubbles, but then( after about 30 hours total), the krausen began to blow out the air lock. I reattached the blowoff tube for another day until it calmed down. Any thoughts? The only time I've ever had any thing like this happen is when additional fermentables, namely fruit, are added to the secondary. The fermentation temp never varied. Thanks!
