This batch was quite different than any other and I think it was mainly because of the yeast. I went to check on the airlock on Christmas morning and the plastic fermenter was about to explode. The lid was bulging out and the airlock was blocked with junk from the fermentation. I removed the airlock and replaced it with another s-type and it worked well. The fermentation however, was extremely vigorous and ran over the airlock and made a mess on the bucket. But all ended well and with only a minimal mess.
