Please help.
I brewed a 1.080 batch of extract brew last night and I made a starter. The fermentation temp was supposed to be 68 and I have been there or at 70 for the last 24 hours. After about 12 hours the top popped on my plastic 6.5 gal carboy and the foam was coming out the sides slowly. I cleaned it up and put the top back on the carboy but it happened again about 2 hours later. now the foam is coming straight out of the air gap and I can tell it is about to build up pressure and pop again.
Is there any way that I can slow this down without ruining the beer.
