Freaking out because I don't have a clue what I'm...

@TheBLAger: my homebrew is just spewing c02/foam...its only in the first 24 hours of fermentation...does anyone know whats up? Is it a dumper? #homebrew
@Royal_Hopulence: @TheBlager in a carboy? Switch to a blowoff tube, maybe. Could just be a vigorous fermentation.
 @hlhorne: @TheBlager got the correct size carboy for the batch? Yeast pitching rate in line with batch size and gravity?
 @hopwild: @TheBlager sounds like it's fermenting. just give it time.

Favorite Beer Bars Follow up: I miss my friend JJ

I was trying to do the “ask” part of your tumbleog (?) but it kept spinning its wheels and never let me type anything… But I wanted to suggest the TugBoat Brewery as possibly my favorite in Portland. I tried to find some pics online and the best, lo and behold, was about 4/5 down in this guy’s beer-road-trip-weekend in portland. Most of those brewpubs I’ve been to :)...

brewyork: Two years ago, at the Vermont Brewers Festival, I stumbled upon the tent with the longest line at the end of the afternoon session and asked someone in line what the buzz was all about. “Some French-Canadian brewery,” they said. “Their beer got stuck at the border last night.”
