Hi,
I have an aquarium-pump setup for aeration, and I use six-gallon glass carboys as my primaries. When running the pump to aerate the wort after cooling (and before pitching the yeast), after 15 minutes or so, the foam's flowing out the top of the carboy and making a mess, so I often stop aeration at that point when I'd like to leave it going for 1/2 and hour.
Any suggestions, or is there something I'm not doing right? (Or do I need to just keep mopping up the overflowing foam?)
Thanks, gang.
