I'm looking for an alternative to fermcap s. Seems the FDA does not recommend using it without filtration. I just started using it and am pretty happy with the results. I found this with a google search. It's made by New London. Anybody try it? Appears to be non oil based, so it shouldn't cause any problems with head retention. Here's the product description.
C-4800 and C-4804
C-4800 /4804 is a 100% active, food-grade, kosher defoamer designed to destroy foam in aqueous environments, especially those food manufacturing, fermentation, agricultural and industrial-grade processes where the presence of silicone is not desired or cannot be tolerated. C-4800 contains no silicone and no mineral oils.
C-4800 /4804 contains only ingredients that are recognized by qualified experts as safe in food products according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, part 173.340. Because of its GRAS status, it may therefore be safely used as a direct food additive in an amount not to exceed that reasonably required to inhibit foaming in most food applications. When used in sufficient but not excessive quantities, C-4800 /4804 should not alter the taste or odor of food products.
C-4800 /4804 may also find utility as an indirect food additive for the manufacture of articles or components of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food; and is approved for the following regulations: 21 CFR 175.105, 175.320, 176.170, 176.200, 176.210, 177.1200, 177.2260, 177.2800, 178.3910. Please consult the Code of Federal Regulations for further clarification on defoamer usage in your particular food-grade application.
