Foam Out the Airlock

[meck]

I had my Belgian Blonde Ale foam out the airlock tonight. That was a first for me. Note to self, use a larger fermenter next time I attempt one of these!!

This is still in week one in the fermenter. Can I move it to a larger fermenter without "damaging" the beer?

Up next will be a Belgian Amber or a Chocolate, Coffee, Porter Stout. Very cool stuff. I am enjoying brewing my own. I brew with my brother which makes it more fun too.

I wouldn't move it. You can clean the airlock and resanitize it. A blanket of C02 is covering the beer so nothing should get in there. Try using a blow-off tube next time. I usually start with a blow-off tube and switch to an airlock after a few days.

Just as he said, sanitize the junk off and use a bigger fermenter.
