Just switching over from propane to electric, Im noticing the foam of the hot break to be very aggressive as opposed to propane. If past propane brews if I knocked down the boil foam with 5-10 sprays from a bottle, and it may come back once or twice more, but then it collapse and goes into vigorus rolling boil. wit my first 2 electric brews, Ive tried lowering the duty cycle to 70%( I'm not sure if I could keep a boil below this point), Ive tried knocking the foam down with a few sprays from a bottle, but the foam came back almost instantly. After about 30mins of very aggressive foaming I hit it with the spray bottle for almost 2 mins straight, the foam collapesed and I though it was over but it came back hard one more time and again I hit it with 2 mins with a water spray bottle, it collapsed but this time stayed down, set my pid to 80% and finished the boil as normal. Anyone else experience this when switching to electric? Is the proper response to spray the hot break foam relentlessly at first sight until completed gone? Any input is appreciate.
