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.

Not quite enough time in the primary maybe, what day is this?

Day 4, and this is the primary.

Ah I use a bucket for the primary as it's usually way too spicy for a carboy/airlock at this point. You'll probably have to clean out your airlock a few more times, but the wort is so vigorous it should be safe

Yeah, I've already swapped it out again, this time with more vodka in the top to hopefully deal with the bubbles a bit better.

Taking a shot every time you swap the airlock is probably a better use for that vodka 🥃
