Hello, my latest brew has just started fermenting strongly. The bucket is so full that the foam starts coming through the airlock.
The pressure inside seems to build up so strongly that almost no co2 can excape because of the semi-blockage/resistance caused by the foam.
I want to ask, is this really a problem? It looks dramatic, but I cannot see how infections can get inside.
Can my lid pop off because the co2 fail to escape through the airlock?
What do you advice? Thank you.
Oh yeah, the airlock was heavily sterlized before I filled it up with my vodka. I reckon that even when the foam starts to set, the contents of the airlock will still be sterile.
