One of our fermenters was sealed accidentally before our IPA could be dry hopped. Not 100% when it was sealed but looking at the notes we know for sure it wasn't sealed before the 8th, so looks like it was sealed for about 4 days before it was caught. There wasn't a ton of head pressure built up (forgot to get a reading) and the beer was pretty much terminal a few days before the 8th, so the CO2 buildup that was released seemed pretty minimal.
We've been letting it vent since we opened it and it seems pretty calm, but I wanted to see if anyone has dealt with the same issue and how you were able to fix it/how long you waited to let it finish venting. Trying to avoid creating a geyser but also can't not dry hop it since it kind of kills the whole DDH IPA thing. Any advice on the matter is appreciated, thanks.
