Ok guys have a big problem. Just got up to find that my fermenter that i have a canned peach ferment going in had bubbled some peices of peach and foam up into the s type airlock and forced all the water out. I cleaned up the mess and am using a 3 piece air lock with a piece of grain bag over the hole to keep the peach pulp from getting into it. Some foam is getting in but no pulp. What do i need to do to fix this. It has been going since saturday night with 3 packs of regular bakers yeast. Can anyone adivse me?

"About all you can do is dip out some of the wash and put it in another jug or just toss it. Its not the ene of the world --adapt and overcome mate....
Sanitize whatever you use to dip, just in case........"

What i am trying is i had a piece of vynal tubing that was the same diamater as my gromet in my airloc. I ran it into a gallon jug almost full of water. I am still getting some pulp and foam in the tubing but it seems to be working ok. Should i continue like that or dip some out as heeler sugested. The line was the only thing i could think of before i got a response..lol

Use a blow off tube from now on. On a carboy, use this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]742[/ATTACH] and a length of tubing. Dip the free end of the tube into a cut off milk jug or something 1/2 full of water so you dont get anything back into your wort. Stuff can blow out/off of the fermenter but nothing can get back in. Like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]743[/ATTACH] chrisknight attached the following image(s):  image_2954.jpg (8kb) downloaded 1 time(s). blowoff1.jpg (48kb) downloaded 1 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments.

thats kind of what i am using chris. but i am using a 1/2 gal jug almost full of water to run my hose into. should i switch to a gallon jug half full or just leave what i have. I cant use the tip that u posted since its a bucket fermenter. but the vinal line fits in the gromet pretty good. How far should the line be in the fermenter?
