5 little hop pellets will kill the foam also. not enough to worry about changing ibu's. no matter how long your boil lasts.
i used to stir and spritz and all that shit, now i just plink in 5 pellets as the foam grows.

C_dubbs said:The batch I did Monday was just foamy nearly the entire time. It nearly boiled over at least a dozen times from hot break till I killed the flame. Of course that puts some of the hops in that foam and leaves them on the sidewall of the kettle where they'll do nothing.
