In 28 batches, I've never had a blowoff. So, I'm not really complaining or nothin, but come on. I had a huge trub of Pacman that had just finished an imperial IPA. While the Burninator's wort cooled, I racked the IPA to secondary, then immediately strained the new wort directly onto it. I thought, if anything would result in a blowoff, it'd be a 1.125 OG barleywine racked directly onto an active cake of pacman. But no. The krausen got pretty big, but never approached the tube.
Meanwhile, I hear about other people having blowoffs regularly. As I said, I'm NOT complaining...I'm just really curious as to why I've never had one.
