Got home from vacation today and found one of my carboys with wine expanded into the airlock
I had it filled obviously too close to the top and with the increasing temps of summertime, it expanded into the airlock. There is no mess outside the airlock, so I assume that it didn't come out, but that some has made it inside.
so, the question is what do I do now? Has the sanitation been compromised? The airlock thingy inside is still floating, but instead of k-meta, it's floating on wine!
I am hopeful it is not a complete loss and i can just remove some wine and reattach a sanitized airlock and all will be well.
What do you guys think I should do?
