Hi all,
I'm a new brewer, on my second batch, and went with a Belgian Dubbel with a White Labs WLP001 yeast. I bought the ingredients from a local store and used them the same day.
To my great surprise, the yeast went hyper-active. There was foam literally rolling out of the top of my carboy, and I could actually feel a breeze coming out of the airlock. Overnight, it went so far as to plug the airlock with sediment that was bubbling up, which caused the plug to explode out -- I have yeast sediment on my ceiling and walls
I brewed on Sunday, and as of this morning (<72 hours) the airlock is bubbling once every 10 seconds or so.
Did I do something wrong? Did the fermentation process really go that quickly?
Kinda fun to watch
