My beer blowed up

[seemunkee]

Never used this yeast before. Thats some active fermentation.

1. What a waste!

Could you have possibly over primed it a bit?

[seemunkee]

4. This is primary fermentation

Priming won't happen until I bottle.
considering it was blowing off so much I doubt if anything bad got in it. Hopefully it's not infected.

2. DAMN

That is some DARK beer on the left there!


Cheers. I just cracked one of my own!! :toast:

[seemunkee]

3. The dark stuff is a DFH 120 clone

5. Sounds yummy.

Greek to me really.

Care to elaborate? I would love to brew my own....I think I am too impatient though, but perhaps not!

6. a copy recipe

It copies Dogfish Head brewery's 120minute India Pale Ale 18% alcohol with lots and lots of hops.

8. 18 percent?

Sounds about right!

Guess you wont be bongin it huh? :rofl:

7. A lager yeast fermenting at ale temperatures?

All in all, you lost little product, so in the words of Al Sharpton "It's all good!".

[seemunkee]

10. Nope, Burton Ale yeast

White labs lists Optimum Ferm. Temp: 68-73

11. looks like you need acid carboys (6 1/2 gallon)

for my primary fermentation and rack into the fivers for the secondary fermentation. Heck, you can even ferment in a beer keg (15 gal) then racked into the carboys. I modify beer kegs by cutting off the slip ring groove at the top and use a number eleven bung (same size as a wine barrel). Just an idea. ;)

9. Blowed up REAL good.

Alcohol abuse.

[Kali]

12. eh - that's nothing, you still have plenty

good fast ferment that's all - hope it's an ale?

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Bummer man! Did you use a primary fermenter?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. Quick everybody!

Belly-up to the bar! :toast:
