I've hit a new plateau as a brewer...

... Woke up this morning with foam climbing up the airlock of my recently brewed IPA.

Rigged up my first blow off tube, and have all kinds of crap spewing out of there now into the bucket below.

I'm glad you caught it before it blew the lid off.

Sounds like you need a bigger bucket or carboy

It's a 6.5 gal. bucket, but because I had to add water to the kettle due to overshooting my mash efficiency, I ended up with 5-3/4 gallons in the fermenter. I thought it would be OK, but it's seriously puking up some stuff right now. Pretty amazing to watch.
