Bookmark or Share- Foam in airlock on top of carboy (plastic) - Homebrew TalkJust to be clear - if "foaming bubbles" are just the clear liquid in the airlock, you should not remove it. That is 100% normal and desired. It's the CO2 from the fermentation bubbling up through the airlock. Removal and cleaning are only for when yeast makes its way up into the airlock.
- When does the air lock start to bubble? - Homebrew TalkAn airlock is a vent for excess co2, nothing more, it's to keep your beer off the ceiling, and is designed to vent and still keep stuff out of your beer....that's really it... In fact many no longer use airlocks at all, just cover the hole with a piece of tinfoil, or use a piece of plexiglass instead of a lid.

- Fermentation foam coming out airlock - Homebrew TalkChecked this forum for the problem and as usual, you guys were a great help. I caught mine really early so no blown off lid. I was able to remove the 3 pc airlock top off, SLOWLY, to release most pressure. I removed the float and jambed my now sanitized siphoning tube over the airlock nipple, put other end into a jug of Sal San mix. Viola!
- Easy suck back proof airlock set up - Homebrew TalkI then use a twist-tie to tie it off over the airlock, so crashing will suck back gas from the bag, not the atmosphere. Not perfect, but not bad. I'm heading toward finishing fermentation in a keg which will naturally carbonate the beer as well as use up any O2 that happens to be in there. But in the meantime, I use my 2-vessel airlock system.
