Mr. Beer Brew Question

I have some gurgling out the top, which I've heard is normal, but to take some extra precautions I put it into an unused bathroom's bathtub. I filled the bottom of the cooler with water, and draped 2 towels over it (front side and back side - not over the lid). I also moved my temp to 74. I believe that it being 74, water, wet towels, 1 frozen water bottle, and the lid on in the dark should keep my fermenter at... 70 or so?

Well, I went in there later and it was leaking bad and hissing, so I released some pressure, and came back 30min later. It was worse, so I made a quick batch of sanitized water and removed the lid and cleaned the slits. 45min later, the top blew off. So I used the sanitized water and cleaned the rim and the lid again and placed it loosely on.

After the night, it seems to be fine - not so much built up pressure.

... sorry for long post, but any advice? how long should it ferment, is this normal, is my beer probably infected?

jesus just buy a keg and be done. I reading all of this thread and it's way too much hassle.
