So tonight on my way back from a party, I got a call from my brother who told me my beer had exploded through the airlock. He took the air lock off and cleaned it up because he didn't know what to do. It took me about thirty minutes to get home and when I did I looked online for help. For about 45 minutes, we tried to figure out what to do. Finally I took my siphon tube and and made a make shift blow off tube and put in in my air lock so any foam would go through a drain into my a small bucket outside it.
So I have two questions: 1.) Did I do okay with the blow off?
2.) Do you think the air lock remained off for too long thus ruing the beer? Worried about bacteria getting in.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
