Thank you for the responses. It is much appreciated.

Ok so this is my 2nd brew. Its a Dunkel. My first was a Hefe. On my hefe I used a blow off tube and it was babbling for about 36 hours which I thought wasn't long enough but th when it was done it was about 4.75 percent ABV. Now this time it was spitting and making noise for about 24 hours and...

We just hgot a Mr Steves out here in Lancaster a couple of months ago. That place is friggin great!! Employees are nice as pie and they always have the right answers for whatever you have for them.

No problem. thanks for the input. It is much appreciated!!!

Oh. Ok. I know what you are talking about now. Maybe I will put it in my secondary and make a blowoff system. Thank you!!

I have a blow off but... Maybe because i have a brew belt on it. Would temp have anything to do with it? The thermo says it is at 77 deg.

I do. thats why it is so puzzling to me why this is happening. I have watched countless friends and helped out from time to time but I have never heard this happening to any of them.

Thank you by the way for the responses. This site kicks ass as far as getting some good quality advice and input. Much aooreciated.

Yes I have an air lock but it fills up with foam and bubbles over. the BOOM!! abotu 5 minutes later. The straps are doing well. At least for the past 5 hours or so.

I am from Lancaster. Its my first attempt at brewing so I wasnt sure if this was out of the norm. i assume it is. I didnt know if maybe it was a faulty fermenting bucket or if I did something that had made it give out more pressure than it should have.

thank you. It seems to be ok and so far. A little bit of air is coming out from around the lid but the lid seems to be secure. It is in my basemet next to the sumpump hole so if there is an explosion it wont hurt anything. (unfinished basement)

is this normal? have I done something wrong? And fianlly after three attempts to secure it back on top I used tie downs to keep it sucure. Is my brew runined due to being exposed to the air?

I added my malt extract to my wort added my bittering hop boiled for 40 minutes aded my flvoring hops boiled for 20 minutes and realized that I forgot my maltodextrin. So I added it and boiled for an additional 20 minutes. How bad is this?
