Is it OK to just pull the airlock off, clean it real fast and put it back on?

Yes. If it's slowing down, you can just replace the airlock. If it's still cranking, a blow off tube might be better.

Well THe good news is I cleaned the airlock, and put it back on and she is still bubbling...Pretty fast. Bad news is I dont have a blow off tube so i will just have to hope it doesnt happen again...thanks for the help...Wish I had some beer done so I could relax and have a home brew...HURRY UP BEER!!!!

I just made a dead guy ale clone with a recipe I picked up from my LHBS. It's in secondary now so I'm not sure how accurate it will be but I've heard good things and it looks right color wise. The ingredients list follows:

8 lb. Alexander’s Pale liquid malt extract
1 lb. Gambrinus Honey malt (crushed)
1 lb. Muntons Carapils malt (crushed)
1 oz. Galena hop pellets + 1 oz. Perle hop pellets (bittering)
1 oz. Saaz hop pellets (flavor)
1 oz. Saaz hop pellets (aroma)
1 Wyeast 1056 American ale
