Pitched my WY1469 starter into 60L of my landlord homage yesterday.
Greeted by this today.
Literally, a krausen explosion.
What happened is I have the airlock in a rubber bung in a 48mm hole in the lid. The kraussen has actualy caused the airlock bung to explode out and sprayed yeast on all 4 sides of the fridge and the top. Luckily the krausen hasn't yet climbed over the lid.
I had fermcontrol in there too!
Normally I run a blow-off tube for a brew this big with this little headspace, but my racking tube was festy and needed replacing, but because the bung actually blew out I suspect that would've happened anyway
Just picked up a replacement tube, Absolute wasn't open yesterday
