Adrenaline running right now, hopefully I'm in the right part of the forums.

I had blow off anywhere from 2-4 hours ago and when I came home it was a mess.

I quickly cleaned, sanitized and rigged a blow off system which I have no idea if it's even legitimate. Even with the make shift blow off hose, it's bubbling two to three times per second. I made the batch earlier this morning and had action about an hour from pitching yeast.

I put the beer in my garage since its about 56-58 degrees vs the 68 degrees inside, hoping to slow down some action until I can figure this out.

Is my beer still good? Contaminated? I'd hate to dump it since it cost me $50 after everything. Idk if the bubbling means I still have a chance. HELP!!!! Haha I'd appreciate it .

P.s. Idk if this helps but I'm using safbrew S-33 ale yeast and with an abv at about 7% I'm sure this is only the beginning

You probably will be OK. Make sure the lid is secured tightly (can't tell from pic). I'd also recommend cleaning off the spilled wort from around your fermentor as best as possible.

Thanks for the positive vibes. It ended up turning out absolutely delicious! So glad I didn't dump it. Thanks again
