I'm on my fourth batch of brewing with extract, started it last night, and today it's foaming so vigorously that it's going through the airlock, plugging it up and bulging the lid on my primary until it squeezes out through whatever holes it can find. This is the second time it has done this, although the first time it didn't do so quite as intensely. Both times it happened with a pale ale. Once with dry yeast and this time with a liquid yeast. I've been pulling the airlock off to get rid of the pressure but I'm kind of worried about contamination.
Is this kind of intense fermentation normal? What should I be doing when this does happen? Is there any way I can avoid it foaming over like it this? Thanks for help folks!
