So I recently started fermenting a 5 gallon batch using BRY-97 yeast at about 69 degrees F. My OG was 1.050. About 3 days after starting, by airlock clogged from the aggressive fermentation, and the whole assembly popped out of the bunghole. It has definitely slowed down, and I have read enough forums to not be freaking out about the exposure to my beer... But, I am worried that now I might have yeast stuck to the side of the carboy around the top. Do you think I should swirl the carboy to try to get it back into solution, or just call it a loss? I am worried that my beer may not ferment fully, but I do not want to disturb/aerate the beer too much since it has been 1 1/2 weeks since I started fermenting. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!
