Great piece of advice. My stout was behaving like Mt Vesuvius and I was clearing the airlock at least twice a day. Tried this tip and it’s totally sorted. No idea how it works (physics was never my strong point) but I don’t care!
Had exactly the same with a Finnish Sahti I am currently brewing. Absolutely sorted, and fermentation back to normal in 24 hours. This is the technique the Brooklyn Brewshop recommends when starting all fermentations. Could help to avoid beer explosion and the wrath of OIC Home Command.

All strong ales/beers need a blow off tube
