It occurred to me a couple of brews ago as i was using my big spoon to break the surface tension of my 7.3 gal boil in my 8 gal pot to try to prevent my usual boil over that hops might do the same thing so i added my 1st hops addition BEFORE I achieved boil...and it worked! The hops circulating through the wort and emerging back on the surface was way more effective than my spoon in breaking up the surface foam.
I havent come across this method in my research...maybe it's common knowledge, but it does work and has greatly reduced the cleanup of my stove top brewing.
