This is my first brew.
My wife bought me a "Brew House" cream ale kit from the local store and it came with a primary bucket that is a sealed bucket with no airlock. I put it in the primary on Monday. Temp is 70 and the initial activity looked fine. Head built up on Tuesday and by Tuesday evening the lid was blown upwards. Today I noticed that the brew has gone from a nice rich brown to a cloudy brown. Is this normal? Should the bucket have had an airlock installed? Can I open the lid now and vent it and install one? Is my brew screwed? Help a noob out.
