The last two 5 gal batches have distinguished themselves as the devil's spawn. I brewed a pale ale and this most recent batch a Hef. I used a 800 ml starter made with about 750 ml H20 and 1/4 cup DME. Brewed the beer both recipies were a standard affair of pale malt DME with 1/2 pale and 1/2 wheat malt DME in the hef, additional grains, hops etc. Tossed in the starters and they started fermenting within 8 hours. Ferment Temp was about 66-70 degrees. That's where things got ugly. The three piece bubblers became the birthplace of spew. My V Vessle suffered the worst onslaught having it's bung tossed off the top. My wife will throw my beer out of the kitchen pantry if this continues to happen. Not to mention what a big P-I-A cleanup was... Any ideas, Anybody ????
BTW the beer finishes nice and tasty. But I can't continue to do biz this with the brown sticky yeast ooze flowing over everything. I could do blow off tubes. But I didn't think this was normal.
Suggestions??
