whats the longest you have ecer blown off

[kosmokramer]

I am about 20 - 25 batches in to this great hobby and although i use a blow-off tube for every batch i have only actually blown off 3 or 4 times. I did my second all grain this Sunday afternoon. It was Yoopers dfh 60 minute clone. I came in a few points shy at 1.066 and pitched a 2 liter shaken starter of 001. started bubbling at about 5 hours and has been blowing off for about 30 hours now and still going strong! I was wondering how long the blow off type of active fermentation normally lasts or what the longest somebody has had it go for.

days. i've only had two beers blow off krausen, but he first one went for over two days. blew off over half a gallon of liquid, probably close to 3/4ths.

I try to keep most of my fermentations cool and I hardly ever have blow off.

longest was also my most recent, almost a solid day. when i sugar dosed this brew a few days later it blew off again for another 12+ hours. lost around .3gal

it is fermenting between 60-69 right now based on temperature in my office which is an add-on to the 1920 house and has no insulation or heating vents. I thought it was odd at these temps especially for this amount. i have probably blown about half a gallon so far.

i ferment around, at least this time of year, 59-64F. it's not uncommon it's a good thing it means you had healthy yeast who enjoyed your wort.
