I've read quite a bit of discussion that leads me to believe FermCap really needs to be filtered from beer before it is consumed. I REALLY don't like the idea of silicon in my beer at all. I've been working to eliminate all plastic from my brewing process because it just sits badly with me and FermCap is another one of those things I'm not sure I want to deal with.
Does anyone use Patcote 376 on a regular basis? It's vegetable oil based and seems like a pretty legit product. I've seen it mentioned a few times in a few threads but FermCap still seems to be the go-to anti-foam agent.

The reason I need it is because I'm starting to use Corny kegs as fermenters (and no chill and serving vessels as well) and they need some sort of an de-foamer to keep everything under control just due to space restrictions.
