I'm tired of the foam. I don't fear it, just tired of it. Think I'm going to go back to Iodophor (I switched to Star San because of all the great reviews). However, enough is enough - I just did my first full boil, and the foam was out of control. Then when I aerated it with O2, there was no stopping the foam madness-that might have had nothing to do with the sanitizer.
I'm only 7 brews into my career, but it's clear that the foam that comes out during transferring (draining from the kettle to the carboy through a valve and funnel - I also use a screen and whirlpool it by hand with a spoon) as a result of the sanitizer. I'm using the recomended star san to water and it's still insane.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I just got done with a long day of brewing...ahh it still feels good.
