Can't stop the foam

[foamy]

It's 3am, my first ever brew just blew the airlock and made a big mess in the kitchen. It's now sitting in my sink foaming over and I'm debating whether to dump it all. Can it be saved?

DO NOT DUMP IT! There's nothing wrong with it (probably). Vigorous fermentations are not that rare. Look into a blow-off setup for your next batch, less messes.

1. Larger fermentation vessel. I originally bought a five gallon carboy for a five gallon batch... what was I thinking. I now use a 6.5 gallon for my primary fermentations and secondary in the 5.
2. Fercap-S that stuff rocks. I no longer have boil overs or air locks being blown off. Trust me... this stuff works. No side effects.
