I've heard over and over that the foam from StarSan is good (don't fear the foam), BUT I'm curious about something. StarSan is supposed to kill bacteria and foreign yeasts. I had no choice today but to pitch DRY yeast (not hydrated) into my carboy today. The yeast landed on the foam and as I shook the carboy, I believe the yeast should have mixed in with the wort.
If my dry yeast landed on the foam, the foam wouldn't have killed the yeast would it??
I know you're supposed to hydrate dry yeast, but I also know that as a "last resort" you can pitch it dry and let it hydrate in your wort for a slower start...
I think I just need someone to tell me to RDWHAHB...
