Description
Anti-Foam Vinoferm – antifoaming agent for wort and yeast starters (100 ml)
Anti-Foam from Vinoferm is a silicone-based agent that prevents foam from forming. It is odourless, tasteless and neutral. It is boiled together with the wort and disperses quickly. Homebrewers use it to prevent boil-overs when the wort comes to the boil, and in yeast starters on a stir plate, which easily foam over.
Uses
- In the boil, to reduce foam and prevent boil-overs
- In yeast starters, so the starter does not foam out of the flask
- During fermentation, to reduce heavy foaming
