Excessive Pressure And Fermentation

[TheDocta16]

Hey all,
Would anyone say that the excessive pressure caused by a clogged blowoff tube could result in any negative (or positive haha) effects during fermentation. I have a dubbel going quite vigourously in a fermentation bucket. I attached tubing to the airlock as its the only way I can rig up an blowoff system. Problem is that the airlock gets clogged every few hours and I have to pull it to release the pressure. Does the fact that the fermentation is going under a decent amount of pressure (I got a solid burst of air and spew of krausen when I pull it in the mornings and night) effect the fermentation or yeasties at all? Its been going like this for like 3 days now. Thanks everyone. Helpful general info about pressure and fermentation is welcome as well!

You'll be fine. There definitely are affects that pressures extends to yeast and fermentation. You can read https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/closed-system-pressurized-fermentation-technique-44344/ if you want to find out more about it, but basically you're going to be perfectly fine. I'd worry more about making sure to release the pressure so you don't have the airlock bottle-rocket off and spew krausen everywhere.
