I brewed an IPA Sunday night and pitched at 90. I know I should let it cool more, but I've done this before with good results and needed the space to bottle my Dutch Dark, so I went ahead.
Last night, I came home to check on it and rotate my ice bottles out, and a little was coming out from under the lid of the bucket. It wasn't too much, so I didn't worry (this happened before also.) I re-secured the lid, cleaned out my airlock and changed the ice.
This morning, I went to change the ice again, and found a mess. The little guys were going nuts. Like on steroids. I'm not too worried about nasties getting in there, since the wind shear coming out of the bucket was so strong, I could barely get near it myself. When I took the airlock off, it was coming out faster than a shook-up can of Schlitz.
What I am concerned with, is that if they go on like this, am I going to have to re-pitch? Is it possible for the yeast to completely spend itself out?
