@ethans83 NO there is nothing that can harm humans, the worst thing that can happen to your beer is a little bit of acetic acid bacteria. even then its not a wast , at least you will have some malt vinegar!

This is what happens with too little head space.

the froth coming out of the beer bottle remind me of somthing else coming out of somthing else

You should never fill carboys into the neck of the bottle. It will almost surely result in a spill unless you have a blowoff tube.

@sadeghsafari100 Whatever makes your beer bottle pop, mate.

Am I the only one thinking it looks like a penis?
@roxtar10870 That's not true at all. There isn't enough alcohol in beer during krausen to kill 90% of airborne pathogens. Even once the beer is completely fermented out at, say 6%ABV, there's still residual sugars and nutrients for wild yeast and bacteria. Why do you think you have to sanitize bottles/kegs before bottling/kegging? And yes, there are strains of harmful bacteria that can survive in fully fermented beer, infect it, and harm you if you drink enough of it. Brewing microbio 101.

For sure. Using a fermenter with a gallon or a gallon and a half more space than your total batch of wort should do the trick. Point being, don't ferment (primary) in a 5 gallon carboy!
