So last night I found myself at my uncles sugar shack running the sap boiling operation while he tended to a few things. He gave me a quick primer on running his set up. To prevent boil overs and kill the foam he had a toddler cup with a cover on it filled with milk. A few drops of milk and down the foam went.
Are there any adverse reactions/implications to adding a few drops of milk to kill the foam in the beginning stages of wort boiling? Surely a few drops aren't going to be noticed in any flavor or anything. Anyone use this all ready?
I run use a keggle for my 10 gallon batches, so 13ish gallons boling in there to start is a little close, one needs to be cautious to prevent a messy boil over. Currently (when i remember) i keep a spray bottle of water handy, but with milk it was a few drops and the foam died.
