Brewed a porter on Sunday (this is my second batch). I had to leave in overnight in the fermenting bucket to cool and pitched the yeast Monday morning. I went back this morning (24 hours) to make sure the airlock was bubbling, and the fermenter had a high pressure inside. The bucket lid was swollen out, airlock full of foam, a nice spray pattern on the wall of the closet it was in. I pulled out the airlock and it sprayed out everywhere. I let it sit while more foam poured out the hole in the lid.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? I'm afraid to put the airlock back on; I don't want the whole lid to pop off under pressure.
Thanks for helping our a newbie. My first batch just went a little too smooth I guess.
