after having a carboy explode because it was clogged (blueberry mead where a blueberry clogged the airlock) and having plastic buckets pop their lids and ferm locks) here are my thoughts:
1) did you lick the floor?
2) i ALWAYS use plastic buckets for primary fermentation.
2.5) if i'm fermenting a big beer, i split the batch between 2 buckets. after major fermentation subsides, i combine them in one bucket for a couple of weeks, then rack to secondary to settle and clear.
trial and error. bummer your beer blew like that.
