Crazy Fermentation

[Max_Power]

I just started a batch of extract Hefeweizen (my 2nd Hef batch) and after 18 hrs, it was fermenting so much, that the krausen from the yeast began clogging my airlock and came damn close to blowing my fermenter. It was like one of those volcanoes you make in 3rd grade science class. Did I just get a supper active yeast strain or is this an indication of a problem? Suggestions, comments, ideas?

Cheers!

Sounds like a good fermentation. Do a quick search for "blowoff tube" and set yourself up! That should relieve your problems. Enjoy that beer!
