Wtf is this. Soap?

[doornumber3]

So I sanitized car boy before brewing yesterday. Bought one of those car boy cleaners that attach to a drill. Figured try it out with some sanitizer in there. Foamed like crazy spent 1/2 hr getting all foam out. Everything else went fine during brewing. Wtf is this. Sanitizer foong

Yep, that's just sanitizer foam. "Don't fear the foam," they say. It'll be fine. Nothing to worry about.

And next time, you can just pour your beer into the foamy fermenter. The foam will float and exit the top of the carboy, forming a big snake in the process. Search for "foam snake" on HBT for some silly pics of that happening.

Now you know to use the carboy cleaner with a cleanser and not with the sanitizer. So do I. Thanks.
