Okay, here's what happened. I attempted to make a blueberry wheat for my first brew. I had it in the primary last evening at 6pm. This morning I went to check on it and the first thing I noticed was 'beer' up in the airlock. Second thing I noticed was a third of the lid was lifted off and quite a bit had flowed out from there and down the side of the bucket. I'm wondering exactly what went wrong. I'm a total newbie so I'm not sure of what specifics I can offer to you all to help me figure out what it was. I'm sure it levelled off at 5 gallons. I used a wheat kit from my LHBS. I bought a 49oz can of blueberry puree from there as well, and a pound of honey from my local store based off of his recommendation. I did everything as outlined in Palmer's online book. I added the honey to the wort, and the puree into the primary before the wort was added. I noticed that after a few hours in the primary that the airlock was bubbling more than I had expected it to by then....I didn't think too much of it though since I had no previous experience. I'm sure the lid was on tight and secure as well...I double checked that I had it pushed down and seated all the way.
Any insight you all can help me gain into what went wrong?
