First time useing notty yeast.
I have allways used us05 and never had a major issue of the krauson blowing the airlock. Might get a little happy a fill the airlock a little bit but never this much of a problem.

Yes i realise that if i had used a blow off tube this wouldnt have happened...Yes i do have a blow off tube but never really needed it unless i knew i had more than 5 gal in a carboy.
So at any rate...It blew the top off of the airlock...sent it about 5 feet from the carboy. The little plastic "hood" thats inside went about 7 feet from the carboy in the other direction.
SWMBO asked is there anything on the cieling...WELL Ya its not purty at all.
OOPS!!!!
Question i have here, Is notty yeast allways a stronger fermenting yeast than US05 or did i just get lucky?
Even today the us05 is bubbleing away nice and happy..The notty is having a slight bumble every so often....And its been 6 days. OG 1.080
Next question, And yes i know time will tell....
Anyone know if us-05 vs notty which one will ferment out further? us05 is past has went to 1.030 and stopped.
Thanks
