I know it says dont fear the foam but should I wait to pitch yeast until it subsides? Heres a pic of the foam on top of my first batch of beer..

Pitch the yeast in. As long as you dumped out the Star San solution before the beer went in, you'll be fine. The foam won't do any harm. If anything, it's food for the yeast now.

I don't see anything inside my fermenters these days. Mostly due to using converted sanke kegs. Once you get past the desire/need to see what's going on inside the fermenter, you'll feel better and get even better beer (IME)... Give the batch the time it needs in primary before you bottle/keg it up. Don't rush it along. IF you want to start another batch before it's ready, get another primary.

I've heard this a lot and am not really doubting you or anyone else but is there any factual backing to this argument? What is in it that the yeast use?
