I made a trip to my LHBS a few days ago to get some real supplies (and some honey). That night, I started 2 separate gallon batches of JAOM, and they've been bubbling furiously since then. However, the store only had one airlock in stock (I just covered the other with cheesecloth and it seems to be doing perfectly fine that way), and I later saw that it has a crack in it's side, which may be why this is happening:
I take it it's not supposed to do that. In fact, it starts to overflow after about half a day. Clearly, I didn't give it quite the 3 inches that the recipe told me to, but I doubt that can account for this.
I'm not worried that my batch will be ruined or anything, but I would like to know why it's doing this so I can avoid it in the future. Is it just the crack?
