King Krausen

Thought I would share a picture of my carboy busy fermenting a Winter Ale. The jug to the left is my blow off tube which I had put on the night before. A bit too much pressure built up and blew the bung, airlock and blow off tube off the carboy. This is what I found when I came home, krausen was climbing pretty slow so maybe 90 minutes after it happened. The life of a homebrewer is never boring. Another way to look at is... open fermentation is pretty popular in Europe.
