Okay--this stuff is fermenting, and it's forcing the lid to bulge out. Am I supposed to be maybe letting this air out before the glass explodes?

If you don't have a self sealing lid, it is best to use the boil or steam methods of sealing them, in order to get a tight fit. Thanks for the question, hope this helps.
