man i have never seen such a krausen.

First i have just Under 5 gallon batch in a 6 gallon carboy never had too use blow off only bubbler with this og

3 days of insane activity and last night kapow repainted the ceiling and walls with hop, protein and krausen.

So decided to use a blow off dam is it ever overflowing it has filled my 1 liter (250ml star san) mason jar and overflowed in the bol i put Under the mason jar.

Has anyone used this strain and is it a crazy krausen maker or is ther some kind of infection in action here????
 
Not likely to be infection. 

You have three very fermentable malts and a healthy amount of IBUs. With enough O2 and a lively yeast, it seems perfectly possible to have some blow off.
 
Nope. Just some wicked fermentation going on. Get a bigger fermenter, hook up a blow off rather than an air lock, or shrink the batch a bit to reduce the mess but, it's just a little blow off. You have nothing to worry about. Let it go and it is going to be a good beer. Don't even worry about contamination. Not an issue.
