Hey all, Brewing a Coopers kit in a 6.5 gallon carboy. I have brewed a few of these so far without anything crazy happening.
Last night I noticed my batch was fermenting like crazy! Lots of bubbles and foam starting to get near the top towards the airlock.
Temperature is 68 degrees, I only used the 1 7G packet of yeast and the 1 kilo of dextrose like I always do.
Today I wake up and there is krausen all over the airlock and the airlock is going up and down really fast, with foam all in it.
I guess my question is, should I take off the airlock off and let some of the co2 escape, is keeping the airlock on slowing down fermentation etc? I just don't want the carboy to explode!
