so while i was at school i guess my beer in my primary bubbled so violently that all the liquid in the air lock bubbled out how bad is this. should i just rdwhahb or freak out and throw it out and start over really freaking out here about this
Revvy said:You should just RDW.....It will be fine.
The thing to remember is, even with a dry airlock is that the bad stuff are not ninja acrobats....whether it is a 3 piece or an s type, they would have to get through the cap at the top, then either negotiate a series of twist and turns through an S shaped "track" OR have to dive down, then climb up the center post under the plastic bubbler, then lift said bubbler up enough to the make it into the center post and dive into your fermenter....and STILL have to negotiate the rising co2 current pushing out of the fermenter itself....Think about it...Even without water in there, do you think a piece of dust can make this journey?
Needless to say a piece of dust ain't gonna make it. And not much else either. Relax
And I was just going to mention success found with open fermentation. Revvy's answer is tough to add to
