star san bubbles

[ninjamonkey]

Curious if its OK to rack into carboy if bubbles from star San are still inside. Will the bubbles effect anything?

If fermentation is complete I wouldn't worry, but an excess of star San could slow down your fermentation if you are racking out of primary and fermentation is still active.

Don't fear the foam, it will not hurt anything.

Starsan is an acid based sanitizer so it won't hurt anything. I have heard rumor that it can impart a mild taste; however, have never had that issue (in beer). I generally try to get most of the suds out, but don't worry about leaving a little behind.

It wont harm anything as said before dont fear the foam StarSan is will actually act as a yeast nutrient and wont slow down fermentation at all.
