I have been fermenting for a little over 12 hours and I have wort coming through my airlock, and clogging it up. I took the airlock off cleaned it and the bubbles started back 10 fold.
Any suggestions or is this OK
Looks like I am looking at a 9.1% Double IPA. 1.095 OG
I am wondering how much yeast to use?
I am trying the WYEAST American Ale II Activator pack and am wondering for Big beers like this one, should I use two packs or am I good with just the one?
So I guess the question still remains,
Can I secondary in an ALE PAIL? (I read there may be too much headroom)
or should I go ahead and secondary in a Better Bottle or a glass carboy. I just don't like light hitting my beer.
Couple more questions:
1. If I decide to let my beer settle in the fermenter for another week just to make sure everything settles. Can I still dry-hop after that?
2. If I transfer into a secondary to dry-hop what is the best thing to use. Glass Carboy, Better Bottle, Ale Pail.

Ok so I am working on my first batch. It is an IPA, with Simcoe, Amarillo, and Cascade hops (pellet).
I am ready to dry hop using Simcoe, and Amarillo
Yet here is my question. When making my wort I didn't read that I should have filtered out my hops so they are still in the fermenter...
