We finally got around to brewing a new batch of beer. We haven't brewed in maybe a year or more. We usually by a kit from the brew store in Tucson that includes grains, malt, hops, and yeast but this time we had a Munton's kit that came in a can. We bought some extra organic grains for flavoring, fuggle hops, more dry malt (the kit came with malt syrup), and better quality yeast.
We brewed it up like normal, sealed it up in the bucket with airlock, and put it in the closet to ferment. When we came home from dinner Friday night the lid looked like it was about to pop off. The airlock was clogged with hops and sticky stuff so hardly any of the gases were being allowed to escape. We got toothpicks and tried cleaning out the airlock lid holes but it wasn't doing much good so Husband drilled holes in another airlock lid and we put that on. I watched it for a long time, the soft foamy pillar grew in spurts.
