When you brew a heavier ale, like a Scotch Ale for example, in a 5 gal carboy, how much would you expect if any beer to loose from any overflow from excessive bubbling? Is it normal for this to happen?
I lost some, and thought maybe it was due to cleanliness, but everytime I've ever done a heavy ale, I always get tons of bubbling, and even lose up to 1/2gal. I clean the heck out of it with steaming water, and chlorine, along with all of my other stuff, but can't figure it out. This has happened a few times now, and like I said, always with the heavy beers. What gives?
