As an update, I wasn't seeing any airlock activity so I went back through the thread and read about adding a tbsp of baking soda. Forgetting the lessons of the vinegar and baking soda volcano of science class many years ago, I added the baking soda to the carboy. And it almost immediately blew the airlock! And I'm using 8 gallon Spediels so I have (or so I thought) plenty of head space. Thankfully this was out in the garage and not in the kitchen.
