Hi guys, so glad I found this forum. The wealth of information seems invaluable.
It's been many, many years since I brewed and it has always been the Brewers Best kits. I brewed a batch of India Pale Ale yesterday and today the fermentation is going crazy. I've never had a batch where the beer actually escaped from the the air lock. Is this normal for this style or did I do something wrong? My only deviation from the instructions was I pitched the yeast to early (80 degrees) and I am not able to get the temp to the desired 70 even a day later. It's hovering around 76 degrees.
On the plus side, my basement sure does smell good!
Thanks for any input you may have.
