Yo brewers,
Sunday I brewed up a Shiner clone, because I plan on having it at a party where the beer drinkers arent really into dark beer. Everything seemed to go really well. I was supposed to end up with a beginning gravity of 1.70, but I ended up with 1.66 which Im fine with because I thought my last brew was a tad watery. I left about 6-7 clearance in the top of my bucket. After I added my liquid yeast once my temp dropped to about 75f I went to bed. The next morning it had started active fermentation, and looked good. After I got home from work there was beer in my air lock, some yeast sediment, and even some spilled beer on top of the bucket. Do I need to worry?
