You're going to need a blow-off tube for that.

Great job and thinking, never give up on your beer and it may end up coming through for you!

I actually just did the same thing. I made a Blackberry Porter from a recipe I made with an OG of 1.080 and used two smack packs of 1028 London Ale yeast. Within 5 hours it was already bubbling every minute and i checked it about 15 hours later and the airlock was about to pop off and there was foam everywhere. I'm excited though...it's my first 'big' beer

@keysofebony check out my fermentation video to see what blackberries can really do lol

Is that from Surly?

same kinda thing happened when I brewed a Hefewisen- American style wheat ale.  Just started Southern German Weizenbier.

I love the rigged use of a bottling wand. I just had to do something similar with an old racking cane when I had a similar situation. Here's to homebrew inginuity!

My first brew I did a Dunkel. I had no idea what to expect. my daughter and I were asleep on the couch on the 2nd day of fermentation when we heard what sounded liek a bomb going off. I laid her back down onto the couch and went into my basement to find the fermenter lid about 8 feet from the bucket and Dunkelweisen covering my walls and ceiling. I will never use an airlock again.

how did end up tasting? was it pretty potent?

[texabamabrackish]

It ended up tasting great! Roasted and sweet. I lost a little bit of beer due to it being my first experience with a beer that insane... I had to just let it spew onto the patio before I could get the blow-off set-up. It carbonated really well and had an awesome head. It didn't last long. I should've thought ahead and aged a few. Cheers!

Damn. It was pretty active before we left. Is it because that batch had more sugar?
