Been fermenting cider for awhile but never had this problem before as southern California weather is typically pretty stable. I have two garaged carboys (5 gal and 6.5 gal) going about 5 weeks in now with blowout tubes to a single gallon jug of star sans solution. Over the holiday the temp dropped a good ten degrees (low from 50 to 40) along with a good rainstorm for about two days. Apparently the pressure and temp change was enough to pull up at least a half gallon of solution into the carboys. Has anyone had this issue and was able to recover? I hoping the batch isn't ruined but I've never dealt with more than a few drops ever coming coming back into the cider. The first picture shows how the setup has been sitting with the red lines showing the increased amount. The 5 gallon seemed to get more of the solution than the larger carboy. Any advise would be welcome on how to proceed.
