No, it's going in my batch I'm brewing tomorrow. It should still be good huh?

Yeah, still good. I was going to be really surprised if that was the yeast I sent as I've never seen it go that balls to the wall.

do they make a blow off tube that attaches to the top of an airlock
I'm sure they do... Most homebrew stores sell all sorts of sizes of tubing that can be used for blow offs.
I use a setup similar to Zappa's picture; a carboy cap w/ a blow off tube attached.
ETA: Kegged my Berliner Weiss today...
It has a nice refreshing tart character, but there is a slight medicinal off flavor that I cant get past.
I'll stick it in a keg and forget about it for a while and check back later to see if it's worth keeping.

I'm just going to monitor it. I got some towels around it so it doesn't get all on the floor.

This thing is still bubbling it's arse off.

Yes indeed. Good things are happening.

This is a saison kit I got from Austin homebrew. Will a wort lighten up in color any?
Eta: description from the website.
It looks a lot darker in the scale than amber...

Beer is almost always darker in the carboy than the final product will be in the glass.
When you take your gravity readings you'll get a better idea of the final color.

That sucks. How did you sour it?

If that airlock plugs up you're going to be cleaning krausen off your ceiling
Trust me

I used the berliner blend from wyeast.
That blend is supposed to have a little bret in it and that may be what's throwing off the flavor.
Not really sure, next time I'll go straight lacto for the souring.

Fermcaps are the best!

First time using it?
What's your chilling situation like?
Posted on 11/12/13 at 5:06 pm to s14suspense
Coming up on 48 hours of solid bubbling from the air lock....I know it's doing what it's supposed too but how long should I expect it to continue.
Also, should I take gravity readings during the fermentation process?

No. Just let it go for at least a week, even if it stops bubbling. Patience Grasshopper.

this batch(my 2nd) is already so much more exciting than the tank a brewed my first go round

Yeah, just wait. Even if you took a sample now, it would taste like a yeasty mess and you'd be farting up a storm. Once you get a few more batches under your belt, it might not hurt to take readings daily on a batch just so you can understand the gravity curve, especially if it's a yeast you use a lot. It let's you dial in when to adjust fermentation temps.

With a farmhouse I should be good to store at about 72-74, right?

You good.
