Had an awesome brew day on Sunday. But Tuesday we found our primary looking like this. (See pic below)
What could have caused it to blow the lid completely off? In other words, how'd we get such actor yeast and how to avoid in the future?
Some items of interest:
-5.5 gallon batch
-S-04 dry yeast
-room was about 70-72 degrees (**think it might be too warm...**)
-All grain amber ale:
will post grain bill later...
Acid rest, protein rest, mash, and sparge
-fermenter was in closet
