re: Homebrewing Thread: Volume II

I puree'd 15 lbs of strawberries Thursday and added them to the fermenter of my kettle sour. Kettle sour tasted great, when i did some measurements earlier. Added a lb. of lactose in the boil so i get some good tartness and pleasant sweetness. I added the puree'd strawberries to the fermenter yesteday evening and, of course, i did not remove enough of the beer, so my fermenter was very full. Apparently my blowoff tube was clogged up, and when i checked the fermenting freezer this morning, strawberries and beer were everywhere. Refermentation of the strawberries pushed off the carboy cap, so now i have a mess to clean up this afternoon. Hopefully it still turns out ok, depsite having no airlock/cap on the fermenter for a few hours overnight.
