The short version of the question is in the headline.
I am going to make a chocolate porterish like beer and before pitching gravity read 1.088. Pitched 5g of Mangrove Jacks Kveik yeast without rehydrating on ~9 liters (2.3gallons) of wort at 21C (69.8F) room temperature. After 12 hours there was the high foam mark already present on the fermentation vessels walls and room full off smell coming from the fermentor.
I have tin foils instead of airlocks because I was afraid of a blowout and the fermenters seals are leaking (CO2) anyway. Also I can't take gravity readings all the time because there isn't that much wort and also I am away from the fermenting site.
Mangrove Jacks webpage says that M12 is of some Voss variety. Some sources say that Kveik yeasts do like high gravity worts and also ferment them real fast but is it for 1.06 high or 1.088 high too? Also the "Milk the funk" wiki states that many Kveik varieties actually prefer the lower end of temperature of the recommended spectrum.
I will take gravity reading when there is a probable bottling time though, but since I am not following any specific recipe then I don't know whether it should be 1.025 or 1.010 or what.
So, is it probably safe when I try bottling after 7 days?
