I recently made this scotch ale. When fermenting the lid blew off several times each time it got worse making a big mess. Im not sure if the beer will turn out but I am wondering if this is to much yeast or why it blew off or is there a way to fix it? I used a 6 gal fermenter and had an air lock on the fermenting bucket too. I used 4 dry yeast packets.
