I learned that I have got a serious beer brewing problem and have run out of primaries.
I read this as primates. For fear of starting up the OT bears in beer type of debate, I will drop this, but I laughed... Ok, going back to my corner now.
To keep better inventory. I have 2 batches ready to bottle, but only 30 caps. Also, that I can get craft beers much closer than I thought.
I did have a blow off but it threw the stopper and tube straight out. All cleaned up and "reinforced"

yeah, it's a week full of firsts. First yeast starter, first full boil on bayou burner, first brew in my new ferm chamber, and my first blow off.I ended up using a 1 inch tube to avoid blockage. Might be an easy option with the bucket too. Lucky you were in a freezer!!!
Wow, Caputo 00. Good stuff for pizza, hard to find
As one who also uses a freezer and had dealt with blowoff in it, I would debate just how "lucky" it is. Those things are neither was not fun to clean inside.
I learned that a refractometer is wildly inaccurate for gravity measurements after fermentation had begun... Refractometer read 1.045 after 11 days in primary, which sent me into a stuck-fermentation-panic, but hydrometer read 1.024, which is really close to the FG I'm looking for (barleywine). Whew.
Happy wife, Happy life!I was thinking "lucky" compared to blowoff in the house. I ferment in my closet...I am one blowoff away from being banned from the house, so I am overly careful.
