Anti-foam drops

[Chrisbrewbeers]

I used this for first time on my last two brews and after 3 weeks tasting the ready one I'm wondering if it's possible the product is not meant for bottle conditioning or if I used too much, There is a flatish taste maybe like silicone but it could be something normal I guess. I used 4 drops in 2l Chico yeast starter and 8 in boil maybe 8 more fermentation for 5 gal batch, that's what I thought it took and I added it as needed. The stuff at top of carboy looked like silicone...... Tell me if I'm crazy.

If it tastes flat, are you sure that it's fully carbonated? Maybe you underprimed..

I use anti-foam for starters, in the boil and during fermentation and have never had an issue. The quantities you gave are very reasonable.

It might just be that it needs longer than usual to carb, I have had one that was real good take 4 weeks before. I used 4 oz corn sugar.

This would be my bet.
