Exploding Beer

I was watching a beer making video on YouTube and of coarse the backdrop to video was this beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and so on - well the host commented that this was the second episode, where he should be talking about how well the beer was fermenting, but in between filming the episodes, the beer had bubbled so vigorously that it eventually turned into a gusher and plastered the entire kitchen. I've been brewing beer (and making wine) for many years and had never had this problem, but had heard some stories. I always thought that the stories were sort of myths. Recently, I started using liquid yeast vs. the typical dry packets of yeast that come with most beer kits. The liquid yeast generate many more yeast molecules during the fermentation process and the end result is a better beer. Well my beer did bubbled vigorously and foam pushed through the air lock. There was a little clean up, but fortunately no gushers. This beer will be ready in 5 weeks and I'm sure it will be mature and tasty in the spring.
