Hi!
Birdwatchers TPW just finished bubbling after a steady 4 days. Discovered a crack in the lid. It smells right. Has correct SG and ABV but a ton of foam on top (see picture). The crack could have just appeared.
After I syphon off, is this safe to throw into my pot still.
Thanks.

What is the sg ? The foam could be the krausen that hasn't dropped yet.

Just run it. The attached pic is a fermenting TPW. The foam is normal.
Even though your lid had a small crack, remember that one of the products of yeast is C02, which is heavier than air and will blanket your wash to help protect it.
