So I almost always have a potential mess when making a standard 2L starter in a 2l flask. After 6 hours, fermentation is going like crazy, and threatening to exit my flask covered with foil. The beginning starters were a total mess. So I've started to drop a few drops of fermcap in the starter at about 6 hours to avoid the mess. Is there a problem with this practice? The starter calms down and carries on from there... Also, the beer doesn't seem to be affected once I pitch the yeast.
Note, I use fermcap in the starter wort too to avoid boil overs.
I can't seem to find what this magical stuff is made from, but I an starting to question my practice...
So is it fine? What do you do.
Cheers
