Hi all, brand new here, so thanks in advance for tolerating any ignorance I display!
I just brewed my first batch of beer yesterday, a pale ale that came in a kit. I thought I was doing everything well, by the books, sanitized everything well, working in proper temperatures, etc...
I aerated, let the wort get to about 65 degrees (I thought, results making me think different) and threw my lid on. Not even a two hours later, it's starting to bubble, and now, around 12 hours later, it's bubbling multiple times every 1-2 seconds. So...
1. Does it sound like I'm ok, or did I screw something up? If so, anything needed to salvage it?
2. When do I need to worry about the lid blowing off? This is the most important question, because I will potentially die (die, killed by wife, semantics at this point) if the lid blows.
Thanks for the help,everyone, I look forward to spending more time here!
