You're not going to believe me..... but I had a 5 gallon batch of American Lager blow off on day three of active fermentation..... at 51° F.... In a 6.5 gallon carboy.

Who woulda thunk?

I thought it was a fluke, so I cleaned the airlock, re-filled, stuck it in and found it the next morning..... full of Krausen.

It spent the next 5 days with a tube.
It is now fermenting calmly at 51° after 16 days.


I may be digging this blow off on everything idea. It's just easier.
