I had the same trouble, so I just pulled it out. Haven't researched it yet :confused:

If you use an airstone you willl need a bubble counter/scrubber to wash this out of the gas. I think it is yeast, as yeast is airborne according to my kitchen cookbooks section on bread.

It will stop up the airstone and it is hard to clean off completely. I always had problems wiht the airstone breaking, from carbonic acid I suppose.
