First time posting, mainly because I'm facing my first blow over. I brewed a dunkel yesterday and pitched Wyeast 3068. Fermentation took off within 8 hours. 24 hours later I'm getting yeast coming up through and overflowing the airlock (which is going crazy). Not too bad yet, but I'm not sure what to expect...
I knew I didn't leave enough headspace in my fermenter, so this isn't 100% unexpected, but now I'm faced with a dilemma: should I hook up a blow off tube or just let it overflow the airlock? I have it in a cool brewing bag, so I'm not worried about the mess; I'm mostly worried about blowing the lid.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
