I'm only on day 2 after pitching the yeast, but there is already a good deal of foam, with it hitting th lid but not oozing out yet.
Its a 12% BWine kit. My temps are 21*C and the kit says 18 - 25.
Should I skim most of the foam off? I only want to do this if its neccesary as its just more work to sanitise paddles etc and another potential way to introduce unwanteds. Presumedly the foam will go down after a few days but I'm worried it will oxidise then leave off flavours when it sinks back down into the brew. Its all over my hydrometer and probes as well.
Intrestingly this wasn't as bad when I made it with brewing sugar instead of spray malt last time. Hopefully this indicates I'll get a better head with the spray malt this time?
