I brewed a batch, pitched my yeast, and attached the blow-off tube as I always do. Problem was, the yeast started slow, and by the time it started going strong with krausen I was getting ready to leave for a 10 day trip. By the morning of the trip, it seemed to have settled down for good, so I crossed my fingers, removed the blow-off tube, and installed the bubbler.
When I returned from my trip, it seems I'd made a mistake. There was wort-colored liquid in the bubbler and krausen residue on the outside of the fermenter, and on the stopper (see image below).
My question is: is this safe? Can I proceed as normal? I was going to bottle this in a few days. What are the chances that this could have caused an infection?
