mythical beast explodes

came home from work the other day, went to check on the bier van mythische dieren. here's how it looked before i left for work, fermenting at a steady 64-66 degrees:


here's how it looked when i got back home. the entire lid on one bucket was blown off, the other airlock was fully clogged and on the brink of blowing as well.


i cleaned out the airlocks, spent about an hour wiping down the ceiling, walls, and everything else that was splattered with beer guts. luckily it was in the bathtub with the curtain closed, so the mess was fairly contained. fucken lucky i didn't take these ones upstairs to ferment closer to 68-70. when i woke up the next morning, another blow out happened. not nearly as bad this time, just some spew out the top of the buckets.


hopefully this beer isn't spoiled and will still turn out. only time will tell.
