Hello all,
I’m a Noob. and I’m on my 2nd beer brewing adventure.
I’m also having a serious blow off situation right now with a Imperial IPA.
I was wondering? - If it looks like my little better bottle blow off tube is going to get clogged, (which It is.) Can I remove it and Clean and Sanitize it and put it back on? My yeast starter is going crazy.
Of course. Rinse off the crud in the blowoff tube and/or airlock under your kitchen faucet, sanitize it, replace it on your fermenter. If it is a wide enough blowoff tube directly attached to the fermenter, it is unlikely to get clogged.
Thank you sir.
like i say it is one of these: 
…and it’s not getting the job done. thanks again.
You’re welcome. the co2 released will keep the beer safe while you’re cleaning the stopper and tubing, or you could put a piece of clean aluminum foil over the carboy opening until you replace the blowoff setup.
OMG!.. :shock:
This whole thread just made my day. Totally!!!
Now I know if I ever get around to doing a beer like this to make sure the fermenter goes into a box built out of wood or something.
:cheers:
This beer placed 2nd in the NY NHC prelims and it’s off to the finals! I think it honestly feels bad for trying to kill me

That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger… LOL This thread is still full of awesomeness! I had an airlock explode off the top of my carboy and litter the ceiling with krausen, but nothing of your proportions. Good luck in the finals!!!
:cheers:
This thread upsets me.
Right now the best fermenting temperature to be found in the house is in my bedroom closet.

Yeah, I have to use a chest freezer with a temperature controller even for ales here in Florida. It’s so damned hot that to get my house below 75 with air conditioning costs a fortune. You know it’s bad when you have to use a blow off tube on a session beer!
