Daily check in on my stout, seems to have gotten a bit excited in the night.
E1: Changed out the airlock, sanitized, the whole shebang. Came back 5 minutes later, it happened again lmao. Swapped in another clean airlock, this time with some vodka in it to see if that helps.
E2: Swapped out the airlock again, this time with more vodka, hope that helps keep the bubbles down. This is so exciting!
E3: I’ve been checking back every hour or so, it’s blown over again at least once. I guess I should be happy that my beer is fermenting so actively lol. Looks like I’m gonna be swapping out the airlock every few hours today, until main ferment dies down.
It’s fine. It’s because you don’t have enough headspace in your fermenter. As it tapers in, the actual volume available for krausen is much less than in a similarly sized bucket.
For your next brew, invest in a fermentation bucket. It’s cheap, it’s much easier to clean and it has plenty of headspace for pretty much the most extreme fermentation.
