I don't get it - why leave the foam in there? Can someone explain the benefits of leaving the foam?
Doesn't the sanitizer leave residuals behind that impart flavors or hurt the slurry?

Yes, it breaks down and becomes yeast food.
It's covered in the podcast linked to here.

The "blanket" of foam filling the head space actually prevents nasty little critters from even entering the vessel.
It does not impart undesirable tastes when used as directed.
Still no pic. Though I think you may want to specify that you would like one of the female persuasion to be wearing it. I think it would make people embrace the foam.

Here's why you don't fear the foam. I present starsan hat and beard! Sorry for the blurry pic I had to move fast, the star san was melting.
I must say I feel shiny and clean after that.
Hahaha I didn't know that Mr. T and that dude from the movie Powder got together and had a kid

haha this is a great thread. i wish i had pics of some of my starsan sculptures.
but seriously if anyone ever "fears the foam", have them take a handful of it and pretend to wash their hands with it. as we all know it disappears and your hands are left bone dry

It looks like it is lifting up that milkcrate. LOL
I'm sending this from the iPhone so hopefully the pic shows up. I love the star san snake. Mine coils up and around the hose like a boa.
You cant see it in the pic, but sitting at the bottom of the carboy is my stirbar. I had one of those slow motion "noooooooooo" moments shortly before hearing the splash.

I realize this one doesn't stack up like some of the rest, but it's the first time I've had this happen, and I was just looking at this thread yesterday.

Well, since you showed me yours...
Here's my first!
Here's my first!
One guy in our local forum was concerned about StarSan residue in his beer so he rinses everything.
What is the end product when yeast eats StarSan?
Does it really affect the taste of the beer if used properly?
My palate is great and I haven't noticed any off flavours.

My 4 year old son was helping me get my brewing equipment together and when I was mixing up the starsan he came over to look at it and says to me, in a very serious voice, "good bubbles, dad." He thought that making bubbles was the intent of all the work we were doing.
