I typically ferment my ales quite a bit cooler than those temperatures though.
Especially if those temps are Celcius (I noticed metric volume label on bucket).
Anyone ever have a batch fermaent very rapidly and foam over a bucket in less than 24 hours, see my photo. This was 6 gallons of wort from a bag and Salale S-04 Dry Ale Yeast. Temp was 69.9F ......
Have made many batches and never seen this happen.... Gravity after 3 days is 1.015...... View attachment 327134
Fermenting at 70°C might be a new way to make an alcohol free beer.
No naked flames in the brew room.
If you think that's a mess, imagine having 4 at the same time!
I always throw in a handful of drops of Fermcap-S whenever I do ale fermentation. Doesn't reduce the kraussen to nothing but really helps keep it down. One of the reasons I do lagers 90% of the time now is because I typically travel all week so I can't monitor a blow off situation. And the beers are better.
Andrew you should post that picture if you still have it!

Here's a sweet pic of some blowoff carnage, and another showing my experiments with various methods of blowoff control.
What size carboys are those in the pictures, is that a deep freezer and if so what size in cubic feet? In looking to add on a larger one when I purchase a house and keep my smaller 7.1 cu ft for kegs.

Beer at was 69.8 F, temp did rise after all this activity to 75.7 F
@passedpawn - so...did that pumpkin explode in your fermentation chamber or what? use a blowoff tube next time you ferment in a pumpkin dude. you can stick it into the stem
