Hey everyone
I have a crazy fermentation going on and dont really know what to do. This is my third batch I've ever done but havent had to deal with this. The beer im making is a dogfish head 90 min clone recipe. Starting og was at 1.089
The batch started it fermentation today. to my surprise when I got home, the lid had blown open and the airlock was filled with the foam. I then took the airlock off and placed the siphon hose in the fermenter hole to create a blow off. Well this worked for about 5 mins and the lid popped again. i repeated this several time, with each time the lid popping again. So I took the hose off and now the foam is just coming out through the bucket hole. Dont know what else to do since each thing i tried, the lid just blows open.
Any ideas? Would like to save this batch if i can.
Ferment temps are between 67-70. Using white labs british yeast.
Thanks in advance
