So I got 2 bottles of this stuff in the mail about 3 brews ago, and was pretty excited to use it- in my starters especially but in my boils as well.
I added 2 drops to all 3 starters prior to the boil, and still had to manage the boilover pretty regularly.
I added 10 drops to the 5 gal batches prior to the boil and still had to manage the foam with a spray bottle until the hot break. I use a megapot 8 gallon kettle.
Anyone else have these issues or see anything I am doing wrong? Possibly a bad batch of Fermcap? I used some out of both bottles with the same results.
Do I need to wait to add it after initial boil maybe?
Thanks in advance-
