Thanks RM-MN and Calder!!! I figured the beer would be ok since it was still fermenting. I am definitely going to look up the blow-off tubes and get one. I will also check out yeast washing: didn't know you don't need to use the whole cake left over from the first batch. Thanks to both of you...

I made three batches of the same recipe and batches 2 and 3 were yeast reuses. The yeast was alive and well for batch 3; however, it blew the top off the burper and made a nice mess. I believe that this happened because of the amount of hop sediment sitting on top of the yeast cake. I just don't...

I was surprised with how well I picked it back up. I tend to think "too much" during prep. It went smooth and started burping within 12 hours :)

First time brewing in two years... Showing my GF the process and figured it's about time to remake my Red!
