Just In Case

This layer of foam is getting bigger by the hour. So, since I have the proper equipment, I decided to fit a blowoff tube to my fermenter. I made a bleach solution (1 Tbsp per gallon water) in a bucket to run the tube into. I still don't have a way to fasten and secure the tube to the bucket, but you get the idea.
The only other time I've had this happen was with the only other stout I've brewed. In a plastic bucket. During which, the lid blew off and beer was all over the kitchen, including the ceiling.
Maybe it's something about stouts. I mean, the gravity is kind of high. But not that high. It's only 1.064.
The foam should be flowing out of this tube sometime tonight.

Edit: The first picture is from the next morning.
