Well... maybe you can, but it's a lot harder than not using enough!
Just made an 1800 ml starter in a 2000ml Erlenmeyer flask, and only put in three drops/squeezes of Fermcap-S. I figured that would be enough.
FAIL!
Slight boilover, right through my foam stopper, no less. Cleaned up, put in five more drops/squeezes, and brought back to a boil.
Much better.
Please, for the sake of the stove and your sanity, don't skimp on the Fermcap-S!

p.s. Did I mention that I really like Fermcap-S?
