Howdy. Sorry to be siging up just to ask a question, but I'm puzzled here.
This is my 8th batch of homebrew, all the others have gone fine. But now, less than 12 hours after pitching my yeast, I've got HUGE amounts of foam. It was leaking out up through my airlock, and dribbling down the side of my carboy. I took the airlock and stopper off, and now the foam is just slowly growing and piling up, it just keeps on coming.
what the heck happened?
If it ever calms down to where I can stick the stopper and airlock back on, I'm gonna ride it out and see if the beer will still be OK. But this is really weird, and I can't find any information about something similar happening, at least not so damn quick.
