I can recall what you mean now, since the foam has been rising so much that is has reached the air-lock, even making some spillage. The liquid in the airlock is not clear now, but has the color of the brew. Should the airlock liquid be replace to clear water in those circumstances, or sould I wait for this big activity to cease first? | |

There is always a risk of the liquid in the airlock from moving in the wrong direction. I would not want isopropyl in there. But water or a few drops of no-rinse sanitizer should be fine. Vodka is ideal because the alcohol sanitizes and is otherwise flavorless in the finished product. | |
