Hello I'm using WLP005 Bristish Ale yeast for the first time on a decent sized smoked porter. All is well but my fermentation is so vigorous that its blowing foam out of the top of a gallon water jug. My question is, when you have a big blowoff like this do you lose alot of yeast in the blowoff foam?
Also I read that WLP005 has a optimum temp range of 65-70 degrees. I also read that it can be forgiving to slightly higher temps. Right now I'm fermenting in the range of 72-73 and was wondering if I will end up with alot of off flavors that will upset this smoked porter?
Thanks for any info.
