Magnetic Stirrer Mishap

[andytv]

Well it happened.... Despite the warnings, I continued to use yeast starters prepared with my magnetic stirrer with a normal airlock. I heard a loud noise in my "beer room' last night. Wen I went to investigate, I found that the fermentation was so active that it lifted the lid off of my 15 gallon fermenter and tossed it on the floor. There is also quite a mess from the foam dripping onto the floor. I'm not sure what to do for futre batches to prevent this. I guess I'll duct tape the lid down, and use a big blowoff tube.

You would think that you would have learned by now!

Well at least there were no walls to clean and you know for sure your yeast has the upper hand on start up.

Now the 54 million dollar question: Does this make a difference in the taste of the beer?
