So, I brewed a Stout yesterday that is similar in recipe to this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/oblivion-russian-imperial-stout-368395/
OG was 1.096 and I double pitched Nottingham dry yeast in a 1 pint starter. The krausen started building very early and within a couple hours the 3/8" blow off tube wouldn't handle the pressure with the krausen moving through the line. Panic time!
I ended up sanitizing a length of garden hose (~3') and taper wrapped electrical tape to build the diameter up to the size of the stopper hole, then again threw the whole thing back into the sanitizer for a bit. Ran the blow off tube into a 3 gallon stainless pot that I mixed the sanitizer in (with the sanitizer still in it). I get up this morning and about 1.5 gallons of my beer is in the stainless pot just from the krausen blowing off and fermentation is still very active.
Any ideas at this point? Let it run and keg whatever is left?
