Foam mess at head stuck

[ike8228]

I've done quite a few beers now, but this is a first for me. I had a super aggressive first 24 hour fermentation and the foam head filled the head and out the blow off. No big deal, but there was a lot residual hop flakes left and there is a crap ton gunk stuck to the top of the carboy below the neck. Will this mold or will the CO2 in the head prevent that from happening. Just wondering if I should rack it to another bottle before oxidation will become an issue. I'm about 36 hours from brew.

I've never had a problem with that goop going bad.

You nailed it. The CO2 will keep the goop from molding.

Be sure to wash the blow off tube real well though. I soak mine in an oxygen based cleaner after use and pull a rag through it.
