've had a few quiet large krausens explosions of late so thought I might start this thread to hear other peoples stories of large explosions. This image is my latest IIPA that I pitched wyeast 1272 American II into. What bewildered me was I pitched exactly the same measure of yeast (150ml thick slurry) into 1 30L fermentor and 1 25L fermentor, same beer in each at 1.078 aerated with a s/s paint mixer for 2min and the 30L went off it's head but the 25L was quiet an aggressive ferment but never blew or even made it to the gladwrap.
If you guys have some pics id'e love to see them.

Just wait til it dies off then comes back harder. h34r:wyeast 1272
I do, it was sitting pretty at 18 degrees mate.You need temperature control.
I thought there was one around but couldn't find this subject in particular in the search.
I have merged the 2 identical threads.
Cheers

It doesn't always come back for me but it does always hang around forever. Sometimes after FG.
Better hide the evidence from the missus or it will no more home brew in the garage.
