What do you think of Foam Control/Fermcap Drops?

  • I've tried it -- love the stuff!

  • I've tried it -- meh.

  • I haven't tried it, but mean to.

  • I haven't even heard of this before.

  • Don't put that in my beer -- Reinheitsgebot baby!

i will have to try that on my next boil. i started with what the directions called for, which was 3 drops per gallon and then adjusted from there.
I hear you. I say try 5-8 drops before the boil starts. Stir it in, and just monitor it for a few minutes after the boil starts. I think you'll find the foam disappears, and then even with a good rolling boil, you'll have zero chance of a boil over.
