What a morning it has been! Yesterday I brewed up a courage imperial stout. Everything went great.....UNTIL...this morning. I decided to go back into my spare room(beer room) to see if I had any activity and what a surprise I found. I've got such good fermentation happening that it BLEW! the lid off my fermentation bucket and I'm foaming like nothing I've ever seen before.
So I've spent all of my morning containing the crazy foam, and now I've removed my airlock and there is just foam spuing everywhere.
Now I called my local friend and brewer and he said this can be normal for high alcohol stouts. He said to just let the foam keep coming out the airlock hole until it calms down and then re-air lock it and watch it closely.
Just wanted to run this by all of you and see if this has happened to anyone else.
What a mess! but the beer smells great! and looks great!
Any other recommendations on what I should do at this point so I don't have any more blow ups?
