Fermentation out of control

It is recommended by the FDA (I think) that it is filtered out. It would require a very fine filter to remove it causing other headaches.

It should drop to the bottom and not get transferred to the bottle or keg but I still don't want silicone in my beer. I know that it is the same as gas medicines, but still.

And as I said, even when I used it, it didn't always work.

I don’t think that’s accurate. The FDA limits the ppm on it but doesn’t require or recommend it be filtered out.

Either or... I was just curious why someone would be opposed to it. It’s standard for me and I use it in every batch and it works beautifully every time. I’ve never had a problem with it and, personally, would rather avoid the mess and potential contamination that comes with massive blow off.

Again, as I said, it did not "work beautifully every time" for me. I don't know where I read it but the article that I read definitely said to filter it.

I control temperatures and rarely get a "massive" blow of and I have never had any problems with contamination.

Eh, different experiences I guess
