Just checked my 6.5 gallon glass carboy (for 5 1/2 gallons of wort) after being away for 4 days and noticed that I had a VERY active fermentation where the wort/yeast made it into/and out of the top of the airlock replacing the water. Not too much of a mess other than all over the outside of the carboy.
The airlock doesn't appear to be clogged (bubbling is still occurring), so should I worry about swapping out the airlock before the fermentation stops? I plan on tranferring to transfer to a secondary anyway and will swap out the airlock then.
Anything I should do now or worry about?
I think in the future I may use a blow off tube.
Thanks,
Kevin
