First attempt with S-05 - a bit concerned

[WelshPaul]

Hi folks,
I just tried my first ever attempt with Safale S-05 and had heard tales at how vigorous it can be. However, I'm a bit worried that it may have been a bit too lively and has now made a break for freedom:

As you can see, it's completely burst through the airlock and the sediment on the top of the FV is very thick; almost a mayonnaise-like texture (notice my housemate's much more refined English S-04 yeast on the right in teh top photo and see how well-behaved that is!).
My concern is, have I topped the FV up too much and will there be enough yeast left to finish the job? It's been in there for just over 48 hours now.

Don't worry about it :thumb:
Clean the top up (in situ if you can) and re-do your airlock. The US-05 has probably near finished already and there will be plenty left in the fv.

Look familiar :grin:

Yeah, I've tried to clean up what I can and have refreshed the airlock. I'm hoping it will turn out OK.

Damned American yeasts with no sense of decorum....
