Thanks for all the help everyone! This thread blew up overnight and I missed it yesterday trying to dig out of snowpocalypse 2021, we have like 27” at my house.
It’s been fermenting very aggressively for the past 2 days, bubbling every 1-2 seconds. I put in a hose snd into water before I put it away because I felt nervous it was kind of full, 5 5/8 ish gallons. I looked this morning before work and it had bubbled up into the rubber stopper and into the tubing, thank god I sprayed it full of star San before I used it. But it got some of the late addition hops into the tubing and in the stopper and it was caked up. I don’t know how much it was restricting air from leaving but when I picked up the tube from the water it didn’t even make a peep and I got nervous. I dumped the trub on my catalyst to try and drop the volume a bit but also because it was a trub cake in that thing. Swapped out the tube for an airlock and hoping there’s no issues. Too much added oxygen but not much I can do there.
