@Unicorn_Platypus , thank you for bringing the vegetable based foam control to my attention. I have been wanting a substitute to the silicon based Fermcap-S. Especially after reading the FDAs new standard of use.
The more I read about foam control, I learned some countries supposedly ban the use of silicon based. I was able to download and read Birko Corp's hazarderous papers on the different foam control products. For those that are interested, here is the link

I ended up ordering two bottles of the vegetable base (Patco 376). I have used it in my yeast starter this week and it works just like Fermcap-S. Now, I do not have to worry about following the FDAs new guidelines of filtering the wort or the beer.
Again, thank you for posting the link!
