Hello all,
I used an O2 aeration system (using .5 micron stone and 'pure' filtered oxygen) on a batch I stared two evenings ago. Fermentation started at the 24 hour mark and ramped up well at 48 hours. No problem there.
My issue was with the degree to which the wort foamed up. I do use Starsan (I do not fear the foam...) but I do let as much of the foam from the primary drain out as possible, so I'm having a hard time blaming the Starsan.
Am I turning up the oxygen too much? Should it be at a "rolling boil" or just minor bubbling from the stone?
Any input greatly appreciated.
