I brewed a IPA last night doing a 5 gal extract partial boil(OG 1.062). I'm currently fermenting it in an 6 gallon BB and it is very, very, very active. I created a starter for it and had about an inch of yeast buildup that I poured into the fermenter.
Anyway, in the future I'll probably do a blowoff hose but for now its going ok I just want to make sure I'm alright. Theres not much gunk in the airlock that I have on there, but a LOT of Co2 is coming out. I know I'm probably alright for contamination sake because of the Co2 coming out will keep any air/bacteria from getting in.
I'm just wondering if this is ok, there is a lot of pressure(so much that when I pulled the airlock out to make sure there wasn't much gunk clogging it up, fermenting beer literally shot to the ceiling), I sanitized and put the airlock back on and it now just seems content to rapidly expel Co2 resulting in an almost foam(although this may be starsan) bubbling out of my airlock. Other than the mess, is there anything bad about this?
