My sourdough starter exploded in the fridge last Tuesday lol

I walked into my kitchen after work and there was goo all over the inside of my fridge. My starter had fermented way too fast because I forgot to burp the jar. Took me like 45 minutes to clean everything up. Has anyone else had a starter go crazy like that?

Less flour in the feed and a looser lid next time will stop that volcano from blowing.

45 minutes? I'd have probably just left the fridge open and let it air out while I went to go grab a beer, honestly (not judging, just impressed by your dedication).
