Hops will foam up like a mf'er

Yeah, this is another one of those things to be wary of - adding hops will cause the wort to foam up and (likely) overflow the pot. You can keep it to a minimum by making sure you've got a good bit of headspace in your pot, controlling your temp, and keeping a spray bottle filled with water around. If the foam gets too high, knock it down with a few mists of cool water.
