That looks like a giant roasted marshmallow, pass the graham crackers and chocolate.

I should have figured that I was asking for trouble...

Holy chit time for a blow off tube and make it a big one!

 

[Hello]

Definitely a blow off tube and judging the headspace on the carboy, you also better get a blow off tube for that.

Man I guess so!

The airlock.... Was it swallowed by the renegade krausen? Did it get launched and embedded into your ceiling? I don't see it in the second pic at all.

 

[dmarc85]

Boydster, excellent question! I'm fairly certain that it was consumed and fermented immediately upon initial contact with this mighty krausen. I'm excited for the flavor profile

The Blob is fermenting your beer. WATCH OUT! Tomorrow, you may find it has consumed your bucket and family pets

More seriously, have you been able to keep the temp controlled, or did it run away when it was pumping out krausen like that?

That dry erase calender back there, probably need to add "rent a carpet cleaner" to it for next weekend.

 

[dmarc85]

Haha. Temp is high, prolly pushing 78F (+8F over ambient). Typically this space provides a fairly warm start, but will crash back down to 72F after a few days. I've never noticed of flavors...

My wife would slap the shiz out of me if I had that kind of krausen on the carpet.
