Wow, fermentation looks pretty violent when you look at it at that speed

I was suprised by how much the bottom churns up during the process.

Yes. That's what really caught my eye, too.
Would it be too nit-picky to mention that the video says "1 week", the web page says 48 hours, and the clock seems to make 5 revolutions? Yeah, I guess so...

I got a beer on that looked like that in realtime. It was crazy violent for about 24 hours. I brewed the beer on Sunday and pitched the yeast just before going to bed and I woke up to crazy bubbling. Its blew the sanitizer out the top of the S airlock. Didn't make a mess or anything thankfully. I didn't have time to do anything with it before heading to work. I just checked it and its no longer churning, the krausen has dropped alittle and its still bubbling away.
It started out as a blonde recipe from brewtarget which I added some carapills and crystal 30. OG was 1.052 and the yeast is Nottingham. I have no idea how this is going to turn out. This like every brew I do is a huge experiment.

Crazy! As long as it's still fermenting, the S-Lock doesn't really matter (unless you've got bug issues in your house) because the CO2 produced is just going to drive oxygen far away. The air lock at that point is mainly to be extra-sure.
