Hi HBT, first time poster, long time lurker. I started my second batch last night, which is a Russian imperial stout with an OG of 1.08. After 26 hours into the fermentation I noticed the airlock leaking, so I looked up how to setup a blow off, and set one up. Now it is leaking a little from around the rim. Is this an issue other than the mess?
Also, while I have your attention, how long should I ferment? I was planning on doing 2 weeks in the primary, 3-4 in the secondary, and 3 weeks in the bottles (though I'll inevitably have one after each week, "just to make sure things are going right.")
