Hop Volcano

[Radiation-Joe]

I'm sure I'm not the first to do this ... but for your entertainment:

An Imperial IPA in secondary for three weeks on Wyeast 3711. Two days before bottling I dumped in 2 oz of Citra and 1 oz of Mosaic. You can see the results below.

I like how you colour coordinated the throw rug to your ferment barf

"ferment barf"
I like it

I'm guessing there was like zero head space before the hops were dumped in...

Yup.

No place for the CO2 to go. Hops made a gooey stopper. Just a few ounces less beer and the whole thing would have worked out fine.

Live and learn.
