Happy Birthday Gabe! We better see some amazing beers get poured down your face hole today.
I just housed a monster ultra zero. Running late for work today. Kraussen clogged up airlock on my hefe and blew the top off. I've had a a couple close calls but never had the top pop. I quickly washed the lid and airlock the best I could and sprayed them down with sanitizer then reattached. i also converted to a blow off. I hope the beer turns out okay
MarcusKillion said:I have had a clogged air lock several times . Always after a very quick start on ferment. I use blow off if I am not going to be able to keep an eye on the thing .
I had this happen only at around 70 degree room temps . I brewed all my beers at these temps up until the last 4 batches so these temps work okay for taste . In fridge at 67 or less it takes me days to even get a small bubble going and then up to 2 weeks for it to finish bubbling .
I do not see a problem with the top popping as I have opened up several batches and re closed in the middle of fermentation with no problems . the top was almost popped on one and when I pulled the airlock it shot beer all over , mostly foam I guess but turned out fine .
Happy Birthday Gabe! You breaking out any special bottles today?

NG Berliner Weisse is pretty special for now, last of the mix 6er of NG a friend brought me from Wisco. This is my fav NG beer for sure.
Dear God Almighty.
Peach Berliner, not very carbed, I'm thinking the bottle didnt seal well. Quite tart.
Motueka saaz saison with last nights brew fermenting happily.

Blackberry Berliner, also not very carbed. I used 150g of table sugar for each batch and the beer never got over mid 70s
That sucks. Hey where you at in Tennessee? I'm helping my neighbor move their the rest of this week and weekend.
TNGabe said:It hasn't been that long, but usually this beer bottle conditions in a couple days. Still good, just flat.
Fall Branch is in the NE corner of the state. We're closer to Canada then Memphis.
Your brews always sound so good.
TNGabe said:More BB Berliner. 9 hr brew day is almost done.
That's quite the vertical drop...
TNGabe said:No, just a misleading perspective.

Was that after you picked some more up at the brewery? Saw they released some more bottles.
