Homebrew Beer Coming Out of the Airlock (How To Deal With a Blowout!)
Homebrew beer can come out of airlocks during active fermentation because the explosive growth of yeast and excess carbon dioxide inside the wort can quickly expand to overfill the available headspace inside the fermenter. Using a blow-off tube will allow foam, beer, and yeast to exit the fermenter safely and avoid clogging an airlock.
