What temp is it fermenting at? Take the airlock out, give it a rinse and put back in.

It's at 18c, and I have rinse it and looks like I'll have to do it a few times over..Beats me..

Damn must be a good one I just done the same with a K&B Dr's Golden Ale at 18C and only got about 50mm of foam.

Never had a ballistic brew with 05 yet. Must be doing it wrong.

Shouldn't be a concern though. Sounds like a healthy ferment. If it tastes ok then let it do it's thing.

Some good fermenting action there!

As others have said, it should be all ok, positive pressure from fermenting means baddies cant get back into the airlock.
