So this has never happened to me before, but I had my 1st explosive fermentation.

I'm pretty sure this is because I have been slowly pushing the maximum of what I can squeeze into my conicals.

I brewed the same size batch two weeks ago using Nottingham and didn't have an issue, that was fermented at 19'c.

This week was with American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) [125.00 ml] at 20'c.

Both were around the same SG.

Just shows what 1'c and Liquid yeast can do.
 
It's probably not the worsed you have ever seen, but its one hell of a sticky mess.

I had a 2 litre PET bottle fly round the kitchen like an aerial torpedo once.........
 
I knocked a tap slightly open on a full 19l keg in the garage without knowing a few weeks ago...
It slowly emptied the whole 19l onto the garage floor before I found it a couple of days later.
