This is my first time homebrewing, and everything seemed to be going ok. The wort was placed in a carboy with blowoff tube to ferment. After about 8-10 hours, a steady trickle starts coming through the blowoff tube. The container I was using to capture the blowoff quickly fills up, so I empty it and leave the house to go to work. I come home 9 hours later to find that the carboy is almost two-thirds empty, and all of my beer is on the floor. It had been trickling out the blowoff tube all day. Does anyone have any clue what could have caused this?
The carboy was a plastic 5-gallon one with a hood like this one - http://morebeer.com/view_product/16...er_Carboy_Blow_Off_Hood_w_White_Caps_5_Gallon - except it had a little air filter device on one of the ends. Was the air filter the cause? Everything was sealed pretty tight.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
