So I finally got my ferm chamber dialed in and ran 11 gallons of an irish red. After 4-5 days it stopped off gassing. No biggie I let it ride. Today at day 7 I peeked into the chamber and discovered that at high krausen I had a blow out. The air lock was empty and full of funk. I installed a new clean air lock and pulled the funky one. She went right back to bubbling away. Not scared, just wondering if any stray wild yeast could have gotten in?
Thoughts? Ferm chamber is not sealed, just cobbled together blue board with a fridge stuck in the side with a fan. 65F.

I think you’re ok. I’ve had mine in a refrigerator fermentation chamber blow off on several batches. So far, so good.
