So I moved my Primary out onto the porch on Friday to Crash cool, and when I checked it today ,over half of the water in my Blowoff container was gone. I've done some reading and now I know a suction is created when you crash cool, But is it strong enough to suck that much water all the way back into the fermenter? I'm a bit concerned since this hasn't happened to me before, I usually use a bucket with an airlock. The water itself was an Iodophor mix that was about a week old. Obviously I'm new to the technique of Crash cooling, I won't be leaving the blow off on it from now on, I'll switch it to an airlock if I'm using a carboy.
It is possible that one my dogs could have drank it, but i would imagine them turning their nose at that water. I thought it possibly evaporated too, but that's a lot of evaporation in a short amount of time.
Anyhow, Do I have anything to be concerned about other than it may have thinned the beer a little?
