Brewed an extract recipe from the NB american amber ale kit this afternoon. It was the 1st time I used my new immersion chiller (recirculated ice water through a small pump) and star-san. Now, i've read quite a few places to not fear the foam...mixed up 5 gallons in the primary, then inverted the bottle to drain into my bottling bucket. There was a ton of foam left over but i didn't rinse and added my chilled wort.
My concern is this: with a 6.5 gallon carboy there was a whole lot of foam still left in the headspace...more than i anticipated. So, anything to be concerned about?
thanks is advance
