I've got a 1.100 OG stout that is going nuts. It is in a 7.9 gallon bucket and I have taken the three piece airlock apart and put a 1/2" ID hose on the stem. The other end is in a bottle of star san. I'm getting quite a bit of foam in the blow off hose and bottle and the lid of the bucket is popped up and is taunt. There are bubbles coming out of the hose and occasionally the hose end in the bottle erupts with a ton of bubbles for a few seconds. The fermometer on the bucket is reading 68 to 69 degrees.
Is this sucker going to blow up or will enough CO2 escape through the hose? It isn't obstructed as far as I can tell, but I can't see the end of the stem in the bucket.
Any ideas on what I can do to better vent it?
