Hey!
I'm new to this Forum though I've read a lot here in the past few weeks. It's mainly helped me to relax and let beer do it's thing. Thanks for that.
However, something started happening in my 2nd brew and wanted to make sure everything is OK.
I'm using a 5 gal bucket fermenter which I filled way up to the top and after a few hours of bubbling, I came home to find out some of the wort has escaped through the airlock and continues to do so. The Lid seems still in its place but I'm not sure if that might be the case if fermentation increases. The water in the airlock has been replaced by the wort as you can see in the image.
What do you guys say? Should I worry?
Thanks a lot!
