Brewed 2 batches yesterday both using liquid yeasts. I made starters for them and added yeast nutrient to both starters and in each boil. Just a half tsp or so. So now my airlocks keep blowing off. Luckily, I set a box over each carboy. I rigged up a blow off tube (1 1/4") and that is even blowing out. One time I was standing near it and it almost hit me in the face. Has anyone had this happen before and if so what did you do? On one of them, I just left it open, figuring theres enough gas escaping that it wont let anything in. The other one I used electric tape to secure the tube...seems to be working.
