I haven't destroyed anything or hurt anyone yet, so I'm off to a good start. Based on advice from one of my home-brew books, I attached a tube to the top of the carboy to help expel very active fermentation byproducts. It's spitting all kinds of frothy belches into a spare growler, so all seems to be good. I'll put in a water lock (I think that's what it is called) after today when things supposedly start to chill out. But there is nothing chill about this right now. Check out this short video of the party in my carboy:
