Beer escape! OMG!!

[Cononthebarber]

Ummm? What should I do?!

I took this earlier today at about 3pm ish?

Then later this at about 6.30pm

And now this is happening!

Any suggestions?

Perfectly normal, a good healthy fermentation :thumb:

 

[Cononthebarber]

Normal? Its like a demon trying to escape from my FV!!!

 

[graysalchemy]

As long as your temp is staying below 21-22 then it will be fine. It is better to havy a healthy ferment than a slow one which runs the risk of infection as healthy yeast will out compete any nasties.

Temp is 20c at the minute...hoping that it will calm itself down in a day or so!

It's going well. Very well.

On a separate topic, I note your immersion heater is not fully submerged... are you sure this is OK? I ask as the thermostat in mine is in the top and mine needs to be entirely submerged.

My one has a line on it about 3/4 of the way up that says "minimum water level" so think its alright...its not turned on at the minute anyway as this insane ale clearly doesn't need it! :)

Get a spoon and a flake :grin:

Hey Presto ........

thats what you call a fermentation! that airlock aint bubbling for **** now, its been taken over by the beer!

 

[Cononthebarber]

Yeah I decided to just do away with the airlock as its obviously not up to the job and all the foam is just bubbling through the hole now...at least I know that the top won't pop off again!

Give it another 24 hours to see if it gets going :whistle:
