My IPA is possessed by satan

[JGB]

I brewed my third batch last night... an IPA and today it's sitting in my Chest Fermentation chamber at 64F pumping out CO2 and froth like crazy. It's a good thing I used an overflow tube instead of my little airlock. Even the seams on my 6.8 Gallon BB lid are bubbling and hissing.

I feel like if I can harness this energy into mechanical energy I can drive to work and back on my fermentation. I interned in a nuclear power plant for a while and I'm more scared of my Bottle Bucket right now.

So my question is... should I lower the temperature even more to try to tame the insane amount of carbonation going on?

Nope, 64 sounds perfect too me (pretty good temp for just about any ale yeast). The aggressive fermentation means that the yeast are happy, I'd say leave them alone and let them party!!!

Aye. Your wortshake brought all the boys to the yard. Let em have at it.

It's fine, he only possesses certain lagers from Munich.
