Brewing my first Hefe, and just went to check on it. I am fermenting in a 6 gallon better bottle using the White Labs American Hefeweizen Yeast. To my surprise I found that the krausen had reached the top and was bubbling out of the airlock. Only maybe a couple of ounces had came out.
I don't have a blow-off tube (lesson learned), but I stuck a sanitized small diameter tube through the center of the stopper and ran it to a bucket.
I thought I was at peak fermentation earlier, but obviously not. Can anyone tell me whether or not it is going to get worse, or taper off soon. I have had it fermenting since about noon yesterday, and the activity started sometime after 9PM last night.
Thanks.
