Some brewing fun in the morning...

We're eating breakfast today when we heard this loud bang from the other room. It sounded like something had fallen off a shelf. Sarah figured it out pretty quick though - the airlock had blown off the top of the carboy.



The only other time I've had this happen was when I was brewing the "9-toes Berryweizen" which fermented like crazy because of the raspberries. I've never had it happen with any of the other beers I've brewed. For some reason though, the fermentation for this IPA has taken off like a rocket...

I had to resort to plan B:



This thing is bubbling like crazy in the water at the bottom of the bucket. There's all kinds of foam heading down the tube, but at least it won't explode. I hope.

Anyway, this should be a damn good IPA. I'm still working on a Bowser-themed name for it... any suggestions?
