By puke I assume you mean huffs? I recently had a similar problem with my worm..I shoved some stainless steel scrubbers into the end of my worm and that solved my problems.

A 6 Qt pot should only be filled with no more than 4QT. Also turn the heat down when it starts to boil so it simmers instead of boiling.

HomeDistiller.Org talks about achieving a "hot break" in order to minimize foaming over, or puking:
