An Intermediate brewer, teaching friends how to brew. This problem has happened once so far, this is the second time.
Problem: Fermentation is extremely strong and is frothing up and bubbling out all the water and froth out of the "S shaped stopper".
I have tried replacing the S shaped stopper a few times. Within 30 - 60 minutes it starts to bubble over and the water disappears out of the stopper. Were in Colorado, and they tell us that 6.5 Gal. Carboys dont exist. Bullshit. Im from California and I only own 6.5 Gal. Glass carboys and 5gal carboys. There is about 3/4 Gal of room in the 6 gallon Carboy. The beer is fermenting like crazy. Like outter space inside the Carboy.
Someone please tell me what is going on and why. Im in CO at 5100ft instead of 0 sea level. The "professionals" at the brew shop said that the only difference between the elevation is the boiling temperature.
Someone please explain to me whats going on and why. I cant seem to find the right words to put into a search to help find my answers.
Thank you,
Jeremy
