Eclipse Italian barolo w/skins a little foamy on day3 in primary fermentation. Don't think I've seen this before. Temp at 75 degrees. Any comments??! Reason for concern??

Nope, sounds good.

It should be foamy. What have you done before that wasn't foamy? You are right at the peak days for foam.

I agree it should not be a problem. But here is a question and a comment.
Q: What yeast did you use? Some are foamier than others.
Comment: If it looks to be a problem, i.e., the foam will overflow your primary fermenting bucket, you could use a product called Fermcap. This is a wine-safe surfactant that knocks the foam right down.

Used the yeast that came with the kit. Its not overflowing. Thanks for your reply!!

My last batch,though not a kit, produced more foam than usual and began to over flow slightly so I pulled a gallon out and placed it in a seperate fermenter until the main batch began to calm down a bit then I added it back into the main batch. Just my 2 cents.
