    Hello guys! First time poster here and im worried about my homebrew I currently have a double ipa in the primary fermenter. Last night I woke up and went to check temp of fermenter and noticed krausen leaking out, so I hurried and made a blow off. I woke up this morning and the blow off tube came out of water im a little worried about that. Also I noticed that when I was struggling to keep the stubborn hose in the water ( I eventually gave up and just used a waterbottle).the starsan bubbles traveld up my hose it looked like starsan was getting into fermenter and now the majority of the bubbles look like starsan bubbles not krausan (the bubbles are bigger and whiter than the yellowish creamy yeasty stuff ). Do you think the beer will turn out fine? I hope so the damn kit was 50$ haha

    You should be fine. During vigorous fermentation there is so much co2 leaving the fermenter than really nothing can get in, so I wouldn't worry about your blowoff tube being out of the water. About the starsan, I don't use it, but from what I've heard/seen, lot's of brewers rack their beer into a sanitized carboy that still has a bunch of starsan foam in it and they don't seem to worry about it, so that shouldn't be a problem either. Have a beer and relax :slight_smile:
