@seethootss He may be using Star San. It's okay to rack on top of the foam.

Another option is to bypass the secondary fermentation process and enjoy cloudy beer - here in Australia even some commerically available beers are bottle fermented and contain yeast residue. If you're careful when pouring you can even leave the sediment behind in the base of the bottle.

@jaydecay123 It's no rinse sanitizer, meaning it's completely safe if mixed with the beer. That's not to say you want a half gallon of it mixed in of course but rinsing the fermenter with tap after sanitizing it is more dangerous to your beer.

I noticed you left a bit of sanatizer inside the glass carboy, as you siphoned the beer from the primary. Is it safe to mix the sanitizer into the beer??? I would think that would be poisoning the beer!

YUCK leaving 1 step in the secondary im sorry but i always clean the one step out, go ahead and drink some of that 1 step then you tell me if you want that in your beer.
