Who Skims In The Kettle?

[gnewell]

Hi all,
Just wondering who goes to the trouble of skimming off the scum that rises to the top of the kettle at the start of the boil.

Cooks always do this when they make stock as all the impurities float to the top as a foamy scum.

Who skims?

I think we have done this one before but yes I am a 'SkumSkimmer'

It does prevent the 'boilover' and because my kettle is close to the top full it is worth doing so I dont loose wort.

Geoff,

If you type "skimming" into the Search Box you will get three pages of results. This is a lot faster than waiting for responses.
And no mate, I don't bother skimming. Don't need to with a 70 litre pot.
