This is my first time brewing. Im making a Russian Imperial Stout.
I placed the whole five gallons into the brewing bucket, affixed the airlock with the appropriate amount of water on Friday afternoon. Saturday afternoon there didnt seem to be much action going on, nor Sunday afternoon.
Sunday evening (tonight) I open the closet where the bucket is; the top of the lid was bowed upwards from pressure within and the brew had blown all of the water out of the airlock and filled it partly with beer, which was bubbling like crazy. It had also blown about a teaspoon or so of beer over the lid.
Is this normal or is there something amiss in my stout?
I took the airlock off, which expelled a lot of gas from the bucket and put on a new, clean and filled airlock. It is now bubbling away with rapidity and force like a dude farting in a bathtub.
Is all this normal or am I screwed with this batch?
