Blackberry Foam Over

[smokegrub]

What a mess! Foam and scum from a blackberry wine made with steamed-juice entered the airlock last night and spread a mess around the carboy. This was my first such occurrence and I hope the last.

make sure the floor underneath can handle future occurrences

Must be a lot of CO2 in blackberry

As you could see from my thread, mine did to and finally he other day she stopped doing this. Ive done ths wine a few times and this was the first for me but it just wouldnt settle down at all. Every day I had scum built up in my airlock and some spray off but not enough to make me separate some.

Is this during primary or secondary fermentation?

Secondary. The steamed juice tends to produce considerable scum.
