It's that time of year again to make the holiday Appleweizen. I still have most of last years batch (Appleweizen 07' and Spiced Appleweizen 07') which will be used for new year's eve celebrations. This years version consists of 2 gallons of apple juice with 1 pound of berries (blackberries, strawberries and blueberries) mixed in before fermentation. Also, have 1 gallon mixed with 1 pound of blueberries. MMMmmm, can't wait to taste.
Oh, there was an accident the 1 gallon blueberry mix blew off the airlock and has been fermenting exposed for a few days....oh well we shall see where this experiment takes us...

Looks like fun! I had something like this happen with a blueberry stout where I added an additional 6 pounds to the already 5 pounds in a 6 gallon carboy. After only a few hours I had to attach a blow-off hose, and then collected a good pint or two of blueberry stout goodness!
Yikes, looks like that had great potential to make a great mess.
Almost did. I was surprised, and I'm just glad I was around to change out an already filling airlock.
Ha ha, homebrewing...fun! Yes, it was kinda of a mess. The airlock blew off but nothing came out. I didn't notice the airlock until a day after.
