UH oh

I think I know what you guys are gonna say (RDWHAHB) but I'm sure this isnt the first time this is happened either so someone knows the results of this...

I'm brewed a cream ale last night with WLP001 and it blew the lid clean off the fermenter sometime in the last two or so hours. I was outside and didn't hear it. I checked in on it and wow...huge mess. I put a blow off tube to reduce the pressure but...

Anyways it was in a locked closet but what are the odds an infection or off flavors will set in on this batch?

oh man....you better dump it right now! women and children could die.

Your beer will be fine. It happens at least once a day around here and I've never heard anyone say their beer went bad.

It was in one-way, exit-only mode. Don't worry about it.

no nothing fell in (as far as I could see) but it looked wide open to the world to see.

I have had the lid seep open once before and blown the airlock off a few times...never had the whole assembly of my fermenter end up on the floor though...
