Foam is building and I am afraid it will clog the F pipe?

Hello.
First time making cider. I made everything and cider is now fermenting, but as I red in some tutorials I poured cider almost to the top of the demijong bottle. Now I see that some foam is building and it almost reaches the bung. What to do?

Your best bet is to rig a blowoff tube, here's a vid that shows the basic setup & how it works: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bierbrewer/3288711251/

Ah, sipped a little bit of cider and now it has more space for foam.

LOL That works too!

I do this for almost every beer/cider I make these days.
