And wow, it's going to TOWN in there. I moved my carboy into an eight-gallon pot and then moved the pot into my bathroom downstairs. The airlock has not clogged or anything; it's still bubbling away but the krauesen head is definitely taking up all the headroom. And this is a 6.5 gallon carboy with a 5 gallon batch(!).
How likely is it that the airlock will plug enough to stop the CO2 from escaping and build pressure? What techniques can I use to prevent such an occurence until the yeast flocculates?
