It may be going through a secondary ferment. Easiest way is to attach a ferment
lock to it and let the carbox dribble away. You didnt say what kind of
containers your using but all you do simply drill a hole at the top, insert
rubber grommet and then the lock. You can also do quick and dirty which is to
drill hole, put a ballon with a pinhole through the top through said hole and
attch using food grade silicone. either way works although I personally am more
comfortable with the former.

I use 2 litre crocks from lechters or industrial/deli pickle jars heavily
bleached/sterilized.

It shouldnt. Also do sniff taste tests to determine when you have enough
bouquet/flavor. When it tastes right to YOU then remove.

Just my .02 pence
