We need advice.
We have a Arrogant Double bastard in the primary and its going nuts. It was brewed on saturday.The foam is so thick ( must be form the 13# of malt added) that it keeps clogging up the bleed off tube. I have replaced it 3 times, but once the foam gets into the tube it makes the bucket over pressureize. I take the hose out of the stopper and it vents like a tire being punctured. I took the lid off and covered the top of the fermenter with foil, then slipped the lid back down partially to somewhat seal it, its bleeeding off around that seal right now. I know this is a huge risk to have the lid not locked down, but this thing is looking like it would blow. Any reccomendations?
