hey all,
This is my first batch so that should tell you how new to this game i am. my beer has been fermenting for 6 days now in a plastic 5gal bucket. the first 4 1/2 days the lid wasnt properly sealed so there were no bubbles happening in the air lock. after resealing bubbles started come out of the air lock. After i got home from work foam had been pushed up through the air lock. i read a few threads saying to switch to a blow off tube, but im not sure if its necessary because im already almost a week into it. any thoughts?
