I did my first ever homebrew batch tonight from extract. I pitched the yeast at 8:30 p.m. Put the airlock on (3 piece kind), no blowoff tube because the tubing that came with my kit is just barely too small to fit on the airlock. Anyway, it is now almost 2 a.m. and my fiance and I were awoken by the hissing noises of gases escaping from the airlock. I check on it and there is foam coming out of the airlock and wort is starting to fill the airlock. Just wondering if this is normal, is there any chance of my glass carboy breaking from the pressure, and is it safe to remove the airlock and put on a blow off tube? Thanks!
