Another Blowout

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

I hope, not sure whats been happening but massive fermentation the last few beers, this is good

How much head space are you leaving?
How big was your starter?

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

this is the same vessel I have always used its a 13 gallon vessel and I left 1 gallon head space, Ive never had a blow out with this

oh and it was just 2 packs of dry yeast

Looks like a starter in a beer mug lol.

what strain ? must be happy little dudes if they're making a mess like that

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

strangely it was a session pale ale with West Coast BRY-97

 

[Mark D Pirate]

BRY-97 is one of my least favourite yeasts .
Had it do nothing when pitched dry twice and stalled with a starter once .
Yours is working away though so I might give it another chance one day

I haven't brewed a batch yet that doesn't require a blow off tube. I have at least 1.25 gallons of headspace in a 6.5 gallon fermenter. We do yeast starters two days before brewday and yeasties are going full tilt within 8 hours consistently.

only difference lately is Im brewing very low alcohol beer and using 1 pound each of table sugar and brown sugar to bring it up to 4% so the yeasties must be loving that sugar combo
