Well I did what I said I'd do.... put 27L into a fermenter. Basically I have 28L of SG 1050 wort, have built a starter of S23 and pitched at 20degC.
Made a boo boo with the reading yesterday out of the boil, thought I only had 1030 wort, so added 1kg of DME, which has pushed it to 1050 - but according to various calcs I must have actually had 1040 or thereabouts.
Anyway, no use crying over spilt DME....
So I'm expecting a fairly big krausen, should I put a blow off tube in? If so, what's the easiest way to make one quickly? It's on a towel just in case, but I don't want greebies going back down the airlock.
Cheers- Mike
