I'd like some opinions on what I should do with my Cherry Fever Stout that turned into a Cherry Bomb Stout. I brewed Papazian's Cherry fever stout yesterday. Into the fermentor it went and this morning I had bits of cherry and wort spackled onto my ceiling and walls in my basement. I figure I lost almost a gallon out of the fermentor. A bit of cherry clogged the airlock and she blew! I found the airlock in three pieces. It must have hit the ceiling pretty hard.
I put a new airlock on and it is behaving for now. When I rack into secondary, should I top it up to five gallons or let it be at ~4 gallons. Thanks in advance.
