Need a bit of help here...
Did a blue moon clone the other day, never got a hot break or cold break. Not much left in boil pot. Now I've got a blown airlock with dried foam almost like cement and the entire airspace in the carboy is filled with this semisolid foam now that's not going down on day 3 of ferm.
Should I rack this to get rid of all this gunk and let it finish fermenting in a new carboy without all this gunk or let it ride?
At the moment the best I could do was put a rag soaked in starsan over the top of the lock to keep it from blowing all over the place. Only lock I had was the silicone stopper type with holes and a flap to let CO2 escape so now it's stuck shut.
Was thinking racking, cleaning gummed up airlock and finishing...yes?
