Fermcap: double benefit

Review by Jeff on 12/24/2013

Having recently had trouble with fermenting brews blowing through the airlock and even lifting the lid of my fermenter, I have added 1/4 tsp of Fermcap just before yeast addition in my last two brews and have had no trouble with "foam-overs." In addition the sediment in the bottom of the fermenter is more coagulated and I get a much cleaner transfer of the brew to a secondary fermenter and when bottling, with no change in flavor of the brew. Fermcap is a simple and useful addition to the brewing process.

Wish I would have found this 25 batches ago

will not brew without it. Boilovers ruin my day - this product removes that worry. Makes the boil part of the brew day the easiest.

Can't Brew BIG without it!

This is an absolute must when you are brewing big beers and you don't want to loose all the good stuff out the blow off tube, it keeps everything in your fermenter with no mess.

WOW!

This is an absolute necessity for all grain brewers that boil in a turkey fryer. I used it for the first time while boiling a 6.75 gallon porter in a 7 gallon pot. No boilover!

Awsome product

Pros: Works as described. No blow off tube needed. Since moving back to using dry yeast exclusively, I started getting lots of overflowing fermentations... a big mess. I tried the little dropper type stuff the other Homebrew shops are selling but it didn't work for me. This stuff is the only things I've found to work.

Cons: None. I don't get that 'loose' sedimentation that the previous reviewer mentioned.
