simple sugars cause messy blow off

Sun May 17, 2009 6:40 pm

I had never had a problem with blow off even after going from a 6.5 gallon glass carboy down to the 6 gallon better bottles

But recently I did a couple of batches that called for 2#'s of honey and 1.5#'s of corn sugar as well as 6.5#'s of DME

they both exploded out of the carboy

thank goodness they were in my fridge so the mess was limited

Here's mine, no simple sugars ... just angry Nottingham.

Sorry about that. Should've known better.

That's what I like to call 12 girls 1 bucket.
