Daily check in on my stout, seems to have gotten a bit excited in the night.
E1: Changed out the airlock, sanitized, the whole shebang. Came back 5 minutes later, it happened again lmao. Swapped in another clean airlock, this time with some vodka in it to see if that helps.
E2: Swapped out the airlock again, this time with more vodka, hope that helps keep the bubbles down. This is so exciting!
E3: I’ve been checking back every hour or so, it’s blown over again at least once. I guess I should be happy that my beer is fermenting so actively lol. Looks like I’m gonna be swapping out the airlock every few hours today, until main ferment dies down.
I would consider switching to a blow-off tube if you’re worried about the mess.
I ferment in buckets and I’ve been woken up by the gun shot sound of the lid popping off. I’ve used blow off tubes ever since.
The explosion of hops onto your ceiling is practically a right of passage for a brewer.
Holy shit lmao I’ll look into that lmao.
@Dogiedog64 @Idreamofcheesy yeah, I was about to say (but the joke was more important and didn’t know the term in english).
We used blow-off tube sitting in “sports bottle” with mild PBW liquid in it. Very DIY and effective.
