I just brewed a 1.115 Russian Imperial Stout with two packets of rehydrated Nottingham yeast. Two days after pitching and the lid blew off spraying yeast and beer all of the inside of the fermentation fridge(set at 63 degrees) and leaking onto the carpet(I know, bad placement of the fridge). I now have to scrub the inside of the fridge, outside of the bucket and scrub the carpet to try and get the darkest brew I'm ever brewed out of off white carpet(probably not going to happen!)
After this experience I'm wondering if there is a clean ale yeast that doesn't act so violent with big beers? Is there an ale yeast that doesn't need a blow off tube during the early stages of fermentation? Would my only option be to use a lager yeast?
