I just put my first batch ever in to the Carboy yesterday before that I disinfected with starsan is it ok to keep the foam in the Carboy when shiphoning from the primary to the Carboy? Thanks!
Have you not heard the saying, "Don't Fear The Foam?" Don't.
It foams so it can reach every nook and cranny in whatever you are trying to sanitize, so that everything that could harm your beer is killed. Then in contact with your wort and beer it breaks down into what amounts to yeast food.
