I was gone when it happened and as soon as i saw it I rigged a tube into a bucket of water. What are the chances that the batch could get infected when there is no airlock on it and the kreusen is overflowing? I'm just kind of paranoid because i had an infected batch a while ago.
The kit was supposed to be 1.045 but after the boil it was only 1.030. Does this mean the beer will be weak? What is usually the cause of missing the OG by so much? I used an extract beer kit with specialty grains from northern brewer.
Thanks
