Ok so this is the third batch that I've started in my young brewing career. Here's what's happening. I brewed on Sunday. On Monday I saw the beginnings of fermentation. But now things are going a little crazy I think. The water in the airlock has turned a light brown and a foam is coming up out of the top of the airlock. I'm using a 6 gallon carboy for a 5.25 gallon batch. I think the problem may lay in the fact that I probably need a little bit bigger carboy, and that the recipe called for dryhops in the secondary, and by accident i put it in the primary. So all the dry hops have been pushed above the wort and are slowing the release of CO2. What should I do!!!!!
