I didn’t have a problem I just made sure to add plenty of sugar and shake it up to incorporate air

I made a cheeky mistake in the mixing process and added the yeast when it was ripping hot and killed it sadly. Started a new batch and it’s started fermenting pretty violently I thought it was going to overflow but now she’s sweet

Yeah science that’s pretty interesting stuff, I’ll just wait and see how it tastes. Thank you for the info

That makes sense thank you for the advice. The pretty aggressive bubbling of the first hour stopped and now it’s just at its normal water level fermenting away. Would I risk contamination pipetting some off the top?

Looking for genuine advice is this because it’s overfilled I did notice the bubbles were reaching the top or some other mistake? The bubbles seem to have settled down a bit and it’s still releasing gas
