A little goes a long way !

Pros: My sister and I have been brewing together for 10 yrs. and she gave me the 7 gal conical fermentor as a gift. We have always brewed 6.5 gal batches because of our larger glass carboys. We put our first few batches in our new fermentor and had overflow. We didn't lose much volume, but what a mess. I used a 1/4 teaspoon of the Fermcap Foam Control, what a difference, it turned out to be a nice steady fermentation without any overflow.

Cons: One small draw back to a 1/4 tsp. of Fermcap Foam Control the sediment is very soft and if you disturb it, it mixes into the beer very easily giving you a little more sediment on the bottom of your bottled beer. The simple solution was to use 1/8 tsp of Fermcap Foam Control, I still got the gentle fermentation with more of a gelatin type of sediment that didn't break up when it was diturbed
