First AG- some thoughts so far

Ok, they have it up and running. See it in action. My Youtube Premier, Bavarian Weizenbier Boil.

Gotta love homebrew-cam!!! I used to use the spray bottle with my partial boils-very easy way to keep em in control.

Well fermcap makes a boil like this http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nflder/beerbrew013.jpg

look like this http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nflder/beerbrew024.jpg and as you can see I get a vigerous boil.

Hey Boo Boo, I figure a grey foggy day and you'll have a built in sprayer. I guess mauzy would best simulate the sprayer though. Seriously though, does that fermtech stuff really work? My boils look like your first image for the first few minutes (~5), and then the foam subsides considerably. Does the fertech additive eliminate that early foaming completely??
right on,

Works for me. Since using it I have had no boilovers.

Acording to reports it is supposed to help with the retention
of head forming properties also. I haven't found any
diference in my head formation using it however. I usually
get the head I want in my brews.
