what was your OG and yeast strain?? and yeah like others comment, use a blow down tube. this looks like day 2 or 3 of fermentation. im sure you got a great conversion

Unfortunately I did not measure for OG, however the yeast strain was a Wyeast Liquid Yeast Pack for Scottish Ale. I cut the water for the batch down to 4.5 gallons so it was very strong beer. Experienced some floating on air while walking across the room a few times while drinking this batch with friends. :)

nice clip

do you aerate?? and how much yeast did you pitch

[gabrielstorm1]

I did aerate well before pitching a Wyeast Liquid Yeast Pack. 100 billion cells of pure liquid yeast in 125 ml.

I love the smell of a closet with a carboy boiling in it

[gabrielstorm1]

There is nothing like it. :)

This is like porn for homebrewers. Very cool indeed.

Good ferment. You need to let it run on a blow off tube ten add the airlock.

Craaazy, my dunkelweizen looks similar to this right now. I got scared for a bit... I've home brewed several batches, but never a weizen. I finished the wort about 5 hours ago, and now theres practically a straight stream of co2 coming out of the airlock.... Not to mention a huge krausen on the top of my wort, and an insane amount of bubbles forming in the fermenter. Guess thats good? For now, I rigged up a blow off tube so hopefully that'll save me from explosion lol

Yes use a plastic fermenter. It is way easier to clean once the brew is complete. Also use a "straight" airlock, instead of the S type. Also easier to clean

[KillerGX]

you could use a better Bottle.... but I wouldnt..

A 6.5 galon glass carboy is perfect for fermenting...

but if you cant afford a glass carboy....just use a 6.5 galon fermenting bucket...they run you about 17 dollars at your local homebrew shop. HAPPY BREWING!

jesus christ....

put a blow off tube on that thing man... this gonna explode! LMAO

I love watching yeast in action!

Hello could i use a plastic carboy for fermentation? thanks!

[kbchameleon]

Oh my god yes....ah, I hate living in the city. The water sucks and there's no storage for carboys. Watching these make me homesick and beersick :*(

[JackNeedles]

Wow, I gotta try this.

[vacilek]

is there beer in the 3 piece lock?

[Hopspop]

I've had this happen also (Irish yeast while making stouts), it does no harm to remove the airlock, clean it out, and replace with fresh solution of whatever you use (Iodophor, Vodka, haha)...that kind of positive air pressure from the fermenter would keep small rodents from entering while you clean your fittings...
