air lock

[willyronbanks]

Woke up christmas morning with beer in my airlock. Should I just pull airlock and fill with clean water

Yes, but I would say use star San or cheap vodka. It's what I always do.

I would pull the airlock, clean and sanitize it, and fill it with vodka. Or better yet, use a blow-off tube instead for a few days.

^^+1^^ if you have beer/krausen in the airlock it could be a sign of impending vigorous activity.

For next time like everyone is saying use a Blow off. I always run a blow off for the first 48hrs on my beers, then I switch it over to the Air lock with star san. just run a tube from your plug to a pitcher/tube of Star San for your blow off, works really well.
