A few days ago, we noticed that the air lock on the fermenter was full of a pale yellowish liquid. Looking closer, we saw that the cap of the air lock was crusted over and that there was a puddle of the liquid on the lid of the fermenter.

| Aww man..... |
So we took off this grody looking airlock and replaced it with our spare.
 |
| Good as new. |
Now time to take a damage assessment. It wasn't bad, it is just beer that blew off from the fermenter into the airlock. The book that I have (The New Complete Joy of Homebrewing) describes the blow off as the extremely bitter resins left by the hops. So its actually a good thing to get rid of this stuff, hopefully we will have less "off-flavors" left in the beer.

| This will be fun to clean. |
