This is my second batch ever- Whiteys Gone Fishin IPA from The Complete Joy of Home Brewing. I'm loving the brewing experience!
I pitched the yeast about 20 hours ago, and its bubbling away. With this batch, I switched from a powdered sanitizer that required rinsing to starsan.. I was taught to put sanitizer in the airlock, but am noticing that the star san is foaming out. Will it go completely dry? I recognize that I need to replace the starsan with another liquid so that the airlock doesnt completely foam out, but am not sure what to fill it with- I saved some starsan in a mason jar from my brew but I think its going to continue to empty itself. Would tap water be OK or is this a contamination concern?
Thanks,
Ethan
