I brewed a beer the other day and began fermenting in a 6.5 gallon plastic bucket with a 3 piece airlock. After three days, I noticed that the airlock had been clogged and the beer blew off the top to the bucket exposing the batch to air!!!!! I've never had that problem in the past. I cleaned the airlock and resealed the container, but what else should I do? What are my chances of contamination? Should I rack to another vessel? Cross my fingers? I believe the fermenter could have been open for as long as 48 hours, but I don't know for sure.
