Thanks all for the advice. I slapped a blow-off tube on the primary after getting the mass of replies, and it is still producing CO2... So I'm hoping I caught it in time. Either way... A learning experience for sure! Thanks again! Cheers!!

Hey all... I boiled a 5gal batch of Belgian Dark Strong (using WhiteLabs WLP530 Liquid Yeast and having an OG of 1.070). 24-hours in, the airlock was bubbling like crazy at 73 degrees! 30-hours in, it was bubbling out at 71 degrees, and now 40-hours in... It popped its top! I threw it in an...

Awesome! Thanks for the assist an the advice! Now... On to bottle!

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm definitely gonna let this one ride. It should be interesting... If nothing else, to see how it turns out! Also... Would you recommend a secondary, or do all the 'changes' make possible oxidation a greater risk? Thank you all, in advance!
