Brewed up a AHS full boil batch of Duvel clone last night. Everything went smooth, nailed the 1.080 OG on the head. This is my 5th batch.
There is a lot of sugar in the recipe, 2lbs of corn syrup, 8lbs ex pale, 1lb candi sugar. Re-hydrateded two packets of Safbrew T-58 yeast.
Within three hours I had my first signs of bubbles through the airlock. As I was getting ready to head out the door for work this morning, I heard it. The airlock had launched and left a nice mark on the ceiling. The krausen was flowing out like one of those snake fireworks we used to have as kids. I cleaned it up as much as I could with my time constraints, put in the tub and had to leave for work.
I'm hoping it will continue to crank out enough CO2/krausen today to not allow any air in the open top. Do you think this will affect my beer at all?
What is my next move?
Thanks
