Hey all! Quick preface.
I brewed my first Heffenwiezen last night. Gravity and volume were spot on and I transfered to my fermenter. fermenter is a ball lock keg with a floating dip tube, and the guts removed from the CO2 post. Gas disconnect with a blowoff tube is connected to the post and it's end sits in a growler filled with starsans solution.
I noticed this morning there was no bubbling occuring in the growler but alot of pressure being released when I pulled the pressure relief valve. I relieved what I could from the valve until it started spraying foam and went to swap gas disconnects with one that I knew worked. During(what a mess) and after swapping disconnects I got a huge rush of foam through the tube that didn't slow for probably a minute.. taking a quick peak after the pressure had relieved I'm thinking i lost at least a 1/2 gallon. I got everything cleaned up, and it appears to be working as intended now.
Aside from the lost volume is anything else I should be worried about or should I be fine letting it ride the rest of the way?
