Hey guys, had a bit of a **** up and thought I'd report it here so that anyone who reads this won't make the same mistake. I had a cube of a white rabbit dark ale clone which I brewed on Saturday, cube was filled right to the brim, plan was to ferment in the cube so a couple of nights ago I decided to pour 1.5 liters off to make a starter. Thought if I squeezed the air back out when done all would be well. Turns out I was wrong, I came home today to find the cube swollen right up with about 3 inches of headspace where there was none before and a nice krausen on top of the wort, I slowly opened the lid to let the pressure out and was greeted by a smell like rotten water and seaweed. Very upsetting stuff. So there it is, my sad story, I hope this stops someone from making the same stupid mistake I did. The end
Ps any opinions on the Cube? Should I throw it out or is there some hope for it yet?
Cheers
