I learnt my lesson - looks like you have too!!
is it because it reminds you of explosive Chipotle sh*ts ? because that's why it makes me feel gross inside.

Don't poke the beer.
smokinghole said:I hate fermenting big beers in a 5/6 gal carboy with a blow off tube. I did a 1.090 IPA with a blow off and lost well over a gallon of beer to blow off. What a waste. I have since began fermenting in a 10gal fermentor for all beers. If it's a big beer I will rack to a 6gal for secondary/aging. If it's a brett beer I rack to other fermentors for the long secondary. If it's a normal beer I'll do like 8gal in the 10gal fermentor and just rack from there to bottling bucket after cold crashing. Get a bigger fermentor trust me you will love it! Sure sometimes you might need a blow off tube but more often than not you will be fine.
What vessel are you using? I would love to make 7-8 gal bat he's but dont want to dedicate 2 buckets (and my whole ferm chamber) to one beer. I'd love a taller bucket!
HAHAHA I couldn't stop laughing! poke... poke poke... poke HAHA!
You said you did 10 gallons did only one of the carboys react that way or is it a bigger fermenter than it looks?
