heavy sediment during primary

[jrok]

hello I have a slight concern. I just recently got back into brewing and have a second batch going that I boiled yesterday. I purchased a newcastle clone from midwest supplies called oldcastle. fermintation started today but there are very large and abundant sediments flying all over the place. I mean its crazy there is about an inch of sediment on bottom like usual but it is flowing up and all over the place. I have never seen this much going on before. I would appreciate somebodys input.

Well,fermentation does cause a swirling motion in the fermenter. If it starts coming out the airlock,you def need a blow off rigged up pdq.

yeah i just havent seen this much action before. There is like a current in the middle of the carboy draging large amounts of the sediments up to the top. so far the foam hasnt made it to the airlock but I have dealt with that before just a little messy.

Keep an eye on it & a blow off at the ready. Just in case...
