Whoa that is a ton of krausen. Love it!

Mine was a 5.5 gallon batch in a 7 gallon bucket. It was an 8% ABV brew, and when I put the airlock on the bucket with the 1/2" blowtube I forgot to cut off the cross to allow more of the trub/stuff to come through. I am sure it plugged and the pressure just went 'boom'! Amazing what a little yeast can acomplish
 
Ehh I just realized I didnt get the pick of this one actually blowing off, but shortly after this pick it did. I would keep shaking the fermenter, and the krausen would fall, and then rise up and blow off again...this was a 3 gallon belgian dubbel in a 6.5 gallon carboy.

BTW how much beer was in that bucket that blew BadgerBrewer?
That's a hella krausen. WTG!!!!!
I know I could use Fermcap. Fermcap is for wussies. Blowups are for MEN who BREW!!!!!
